Now you need to figure out how to gain access, build a team, create a budget, plan your shoot, manage releases, prepare for post-production, and keep the entire project moving without unlimited resources. This package helps you translate your creative vision into an executable production roadmap. Drawing from my experience producing an independent feature documentary from early development through fundraising, production, post-production, and festivals, I’ll help you anticipate the logistical realities of making your film—and build a plan designed around the resources you actually have. You do not need a production company or a massive budget to get started. You need to know what the film requires, what to prioritize, and what to do next. Outcome: A realistic plan for getting your documentary out of your head and into production.

Award-Winning Filmmaker | Projects, Pitches & Sustainable Careers
I’m an award-winning filmmaker, creative producer, and marketing strategist with experience across development, production, directing, writing, post-production, marketing, and distribution. I directed and produced the feature documentary "Hoop Like This," guiding it from an independent idea through fundraising, production, post, festival strategy, audience development, and award-winning screenings across the country. My broader experience includes work with A24, Condé Nast Entertainment, Roy Kapur Films, Verizon Media, and Patreon, as well as producing and directing content for GQ, Vanity Fair, WIRED, Teen Vogue, and Architectural Digest. I’ve also developed high-volume digital campaigns and performance-driven creative for startups and consumer brands, giving me a valuable perspective at the intersection of storytelling, audience strategy, and business. I’ve been selected for the Women in Film Creative Documentary Producing Fellowship, Netflix’s Documentary Archival Researcher Training program, and The Salon Mentorship Program. As a coach, I can help filmmakers strengthen their concepts, treatments, pitch decks, budgets, fundraising strategies, production plans, festival and marketing campaigns, personal brands, and career materials. I understand how to make a project creatively compelling, strategically position it, and connect it with the right audience. I’m especially passionate about helping emerging filmmakers turn ambitious ideas into clear, achievable plans while using their creative skills to build sustainable careers in an ever-changing industry.
