Film Festival Consultant | Filmmaker | Author | Curator

Helping filmmakers and festivals succeed — with strategy that actually works.

My mission is simple: help filmmakers advance their careers and help festivals thrive. With 30+ years inside the independent film ecosystem, I bring a rare combination of experience across filmmaking, festival leadership, programming, and distribution strategy.

I co-founded Slamdance, have led and advised multiple festivals, and have worked in distribution and acquisitions — so I understand the landscape from every side of the table. Festivals have changed, opportunities have expanded, and the noise has gotten louder. The right strategy matters more than ever.

Whether you’re a filmmaker looking for a festival plan that fits your film and your goals — or a festival team looking for support with programming, sponsorship, branding, or operations — I’m here to help.
