Angry Filmmaker Shares his Wisdom

I am hanging out my shingle. No, I am not becoming a Doctor; you need medical school for that. I am available to consult on Independent Films. I want to improve independent filmmaking and you'll get the best value and advice in making your film. No matter what stage you are with your film, I can help improve it.

I have been in the film business for almost 25 years, working on everything from animation to live action, Independent features, Real Independent features, Hollywood studio stuff, and documentaries. If you check out my bio and filmography you'll see I have worked on award winning films, and films that never got distribution.

I know I am best known for my Sound Design, but I have also made 8 short films, 3 features, and a bunch of documentaries. I am a filmmaker, not just a writer, or just a director, or just an editor. I have done all of those jobs, and done them pretty well if you believe the reviews. Along the way I have learned quite a few things.

There is nothing worse than watching a film and seeing mistakes that I know are avoidable. The story is lame, I can't hear the dialog, the shots are beautiful but don't carry the story forward, the actors are all the same age and the acting is stiff.

Sometimes it is just a matter of having an experienced set of eyes look at your work. More importantly, it's someone who will be honest about it. I know your Mom and Dad and all your friends think your stuff is terrific, but they also know you and don't want to disappoint you. I don't have those problems.

I will look at your work honestly and objectively. If there are problems, I'll point them out, in a constructive way. No one wants to hear, "This sucks!" My goal is to guide you through the process, so that you can see what the problems are, and we'll come up with ways to fix them.

I can come in at any stage of a film, from writing, to post-production. You will get my best advice, not cookie cutter crap. My estimates depend on what you need and what your budget is. Serious inquires will be considered.

Some of you have been to my work shops (and learned a lot), and you have seen how much I care about filmmaking. The important thing is to make the best film you can, and to that end I can help you. Put my filmmaking passion to work for you.
