Every production is only as good as the time and effort put into planning for success. As a filmmaker and content producer, I’ve developed dozens of projects from the ground up including creative concepting, treatment & pitch deck creation, screenwriting & copywriting, and budget creation. Whether it’s a feature film, a commercial, or branded digital content, I have the skills to produce exceptional results.

Creative Concepting
I believe story, more than anything, is what allows creative work to connect with an audience. What is the core theme of the work and why is it important? As a director and producer I always start here, then begin to iterate – adding layers of style, plot, characters, technique, and form until something original takes shape.

Pitch Decks and Treatments
A good deck goes a long way. There really isn’t a better way to express a visual concept, tone, goals, and plan of a production before filming begins. I’ve created dozens of decks that have successfully sold projects, including feature films, commercials, branded content, and documentaries.

Screenwriting
Once your project is sold, you’re gonna need a script. Whether it’s one page or a hundred, your project will live and die by the quality of the words on those pages. I’ve written scripts for feature films, TV shows, and commercial & branded content, some of which have won awards. I also sold and produced my first feature screenplay in 2022, “The Deep Dark”, which I co-wrote with my long time collaborate Dave Yohe.

Budget Creation & Tracking
One of the most important parts of producing is efficiently using your budget to create the best work possible. After 15+ years in the film and video industries, you learn a thing or two about how to make a production sing, no matter the size of the budget. I’ve created and owned budgets for short form content and feature length films, and know how to bring a production in on time and under budget.
