QUESTIONS?

  • After booking an appointment, we’ll ask you to send your biography and filmography to get to know you a little. We’ll also need a brief description of the issue you’d like to discuss (a rough cut, a film treatment, an issue within the director-producer dynamics, issues in financing or the release of the film….).

    Once we’ve screened those initial pivotal information, we’ll be prepared to run a very effective 45-min session to give you first consultation.

  • It is an imperative to us to keep the content of your emails and our conversations with you strictly confidential. We understand the delicacy of each situation and give particular attention to making you and your team feel comfortable and safe during the entire process. If you have specific concerns, we are happy to learn and willing to adapt.

  • Once we had the intitial session, we’ll be clearer on what type and form of consultancy you need and which course to follow. You’ll be an integral part of this examination with the opportunity to adjust according to your availability, budget and needs.

It all begins with an open and friendly conversation. Let us know what issue(s) you are facing with your film production or co-production, and we’re happy to employ our 20+ years of filmmaking and in international co-production to give detailed feedback and counsel.

View availability and book your first online session with us or one of our team and consultants.

Additional sessions can take place either in person or online, involving activities such as reviewing proposals or budgets, providing notes on preliminary edits or rough cuts, and addressing an array of concerns and queries expressed by your film-teams.

We have limited availability, so please bear with us.

  • We will examine your request and the circumstance and check which one of our team or consultants is most suitable. We’ll also check the availability of each. If we find there maybe a conflict of interest we’ll be forthcoming .

    Once all practicalities are cleared and for the consultancy to be successful and effective, we need to revise your full treatment, director's notes, background story, production and filming schedule, budget and financial plans, and some short audiovisual materials or references.
