As an executive producer, my role is to oversee the project’s big-picture elements, including securing funding and strategic guidance. While I won’t be involved in day-to-day production, I can help you hire and collaborate with the main producer who will manage the operational aspects of your film. You must have at least 5 years of industry experience for me to consider you pitch for development and financing (knowing the film business from the inside is a prerequisite for a global success).

Leveraging my extensive network and expertise, I guide you through the complex landscape of investor relations. My services include identifying potential investors who align with the scope and vision of your project. I provide strategic support in preparing and positioning your pitch to resonate with these investors, utilizing my understanding of high-net-worth and institutional investment dynamics. Together, we’ll ensure your project is presented compellingly, maximizing your chances of securing the right partners and funding.

Ideally, you should begin the process of securing financial sponsors in Q3 and Q4 (July through December), as many companies allocate their sponsorship budgets by the end of Q2 each year. This timing gives us the best chance to secure sponsorship for the following year. While there are exceptions, typically securing sponsor funds requires at least 3-6 months of planning to ensure everything is in place.

Yes, if your project aligns with the interests of my network of investors, I can facilitate introductions. The process includes evaluating your project’s readiness and potential, ensuring it meets the criteria that my investors are looking for.

Approaching a cold investor contact requires precision and understanding of their communication style and expectations. I assist clients in drafting their initial outreach, ensuring it aligns with the specific language and etiquette favored by investors. This includes advising on the tone, structure, and content of the message, as well as interpreting social cues that can make your approach more confident and appealing. With my guidance, your communication will be crafted to not only engage but also resonate with potential investors, setting a solid foundation for a productive dialogue.

After your film pitch deck is ready, the next step is to use it to secure funding. This involves presenting the deck to potential investors, sponsors, or partners. I can assist with refining your presentation, targeting the right audience, and strategizing for effective pitches to maximize your chances of securing the necessary funding.

My journey from camera operating to finance was marked by strategic pivots aimed at expanding my expertise and impact. Initially focused on the creative aspects of film, I transitioned into luxury marketing to understand the dynamics of high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) sales and marketing. This experience was crucial in grasping the financial nuances that drive major projects. From there, I moved into institutional finance and private equity, where I could directly influence funding for innovative projects. Each step has been about leveraging my skills in new arenas to bridge creative projects with strategic financial solutions.

Depends on the project, it has always been this way. Obviously if Netflix calls me I will say yes. But it’s not about the money. If someone is asking me to operate for a project that doesn’t align with me, I will politely decline.

I am a very collaborative person and expect people to shine in their genius zones. Direct and straight to the point, I like to keep communication productive. I provide intuitive solutions and I am not afraid to invent something to get the job done, as “not possible” doesn’t sit well with me if the right minds are in the room. I have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who creates unnecessary stress on the team or set. It is a privilege to work as a creative and we should all strive to protect the peace of our workspaces. When laptops are closed and production is wrapped I love to laugh about the day and commune over delicious food.

It’s tough to pick a favorite since when you’re on set you’re all there to work anyways… I’ll say Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns The Movie for the laughs, Evan Peters on Jeffrey Dahmer for the anxiety, and Jenna Ortega on Wednesday for the randomness.

Nothing, and chances are I haven’t. May the question be not what I am watching, but rather what I am studying or building. The core of my creative process is intuitive clarity resulting in the need for minimal mainstream media consumption. When you’re watching a show, I am most likely developing something new or buried in my research. I watch a film or show every blue moon.
