If you are building, developing, or producing a film or television project -- and you need a senior production partner who has actually done this at scale -- you are in the right place.
HERE IS WHAT I DO FOR CLIENTS ON UPWORK:
PRODUCTION BUDGETING & SCHEDULING
I build production budgets from scratch or audit yours. I have scaled a single episodic budget from $2.2M to $5.5M per half-hour across four seasons -- I know where every dollar hides and where productions bleed unnecessarily. Services include: full budget builds (features + series), budget reviews and notes, schedule design, cost report templates, and cashflow planning.
DEVELOPMENT & PACKAGING STRATEGY
I have developed and packaged projects from concept through greenlight at every budget level ($500K indie to $20M studio). I can assess your project's market positioning, identify the right financing stack (tax credits, grants, co-production, presales), advise on packaging strategy, and help you build materials that get to yes. I have administered over $25M in US and Canadian tax credits across my career and secured $2M in public production grants.
LINE PRODUCING & PRODUCTION EXECUTIVE CONSULTING
If your production is in prep, in trouble, or needs a senior set of eyes before you commit to a budget or a crew plan, I consult. This includes: crew plan review, vendor strategy, union/guild compliance checks, cross-border incentive optimization (US/Canada), and production troubleshooting.
HOW I WORK
I respond within 24 hours. I deliver on time. I do not pad estimates. I have operated at the studio/network level for two decades -- which means I give you the honest answer, not the comfortable one. If your budget does not work, I will tell you and show you why. If your project is greenlight-ready, I will tell you that too.
I work across features, scripted series, documentaries, and branded content. US and Canadian productions, cross-border co-productions, and international projects in English.
