Audience Feedback and Data Analysis for Your Film

Do you want to get feedback on a film/tv pilot/commercial/trailer that you've created?
I founded Friends and Family (www.ffscreening.com) to help filmmakers and other content creators get better feedback on their projects by connecting directly them with audiences. We work with feature films, pilots, digital content, short form, trailers and marketing materials.

My software platform helps give people immediate, accessible & effective feedback on content and helps them better strategize. Using the data we've collected to date, I can consult on a number of topics including how to analyze audience feedback and how to take action on that information to improve your film/content.

How to Create the Most Compelling Virtual Reality Content

I've produced multiple Virtual Reality content pieces including a recent promo for Fox TV's "The Exorcist" seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd-k_jrgDJk

I can walk you through the steps of Virtual Reality content creation from different camera rigs to common mistakes to avoid in VR/360 stitching, post-production workflows and the best formats and methods of VR distribution.

Producing Independent Films for the Current Market

I've produced films in over a dozen cities and each one was its own specific experience. As a producer, I've been principally involved from the development & financing stages to budgeting and tax credit evaluation, pre-production, principal photography, post-production and distribution on all my projects and have unique insight on what is is like to produce independent films in the current landscape.

My experience includes producing work for Gold Circle Films, The Safran Company, Blumhouse, Lionsgate and MGM.
