Founder of Automat Pictures, producer of non-fiction entertainment (TAB HUNTER CONFIDENTIAL I AM DIVINE, HBO Documentary Films' VITO), looking to share two decades of experience.
I've learned a tremendous amount over the past two decades producing and directing non-fiction entertainment and would like to share my experience with filmmakers. I'm offering private documentary consulting services for any stage of production. If you are looking for advice, perspective, guidance, real-world solutions, or a shoulder to cry on I can help. I've often said to myself, "I wish somebody had told me about this before I started!" Hopefully I can be that guy for you. Whether you are a first time filmmaker with a great idea for a doc, or have a gold statuette sitting on your mantle, it can help to have an outside perspective.
Consulting services include but are not limited to the following areas:
Proposals & Treatments Budgeting Archival & Stock Footage Pre-Production Production Staff & Crew Referrals Releases and Deal Memos Story Development Fair Use Practices and Clearance Fiscal Sponsorship Fundraising Strategy Social Media & Marketing Editing & Post Production / Delivery Rough Cut Review & Feedback Sales & Distribution Film Festival Strategy
