What I do
As a freelance film producer, my approach to project management is rooted in clear communication, organization, and a strong attention to detail. I’m skilled at overseeing every aspect of production, from pre-production planning to final delivery, ensuring that projects stay on track, within budget, and meet deadlines.
With a focus on efficiency and collaboration, I work seamlessly with creative teams, vendors, and clients to manage timelines, resolve challenges, and deliver high-quality results. My goal is to keep the process smooth, organized, and transparent, so you can focus on the creative while I handle the logistics.
Pre-production is the foundation of any successful film, and I specialize in making sure everything is in place before the cameras roll. From budgeting and scheduling to casting and location scouting, I handle all the details with precision and care.
I work closely with directors, writers, and designers to ensure the vision is clear and achievable, while also securing the necessary resources and talent. By carefully planning every step in advance, I ensure a smooth and efficient production process, setting the stage for a successful shoot and a high-quality final product.
Post-production is where everything comes together, and I ensure the final product exceeds expectations. From overseeing editing and sound design to managing color grading and visual effects, I coordinate every step to deliver a polished, professional film.
I work with editors, composers, and VFX teams to maintain the creative vision while ensuring the project stays on schedule and within budget. With a focus on quality control and seamless collaboration, I help bring your film to life, turning raw footage into a finished piece ready for distribution and audiences.
Securing the right funding and managing budgets efficiently is critical to any film project’s success. From researching and applying for relevant grants to negotiating with investors, I leverage my network and expertise to secure the financial support necessary for your vision. Once funding is in place, I manage budgets with care, ensuring every dollar is spent wisely and that the project stays on track, both creatively and financially.
Whether it’s finding that great track to sync, creating a composition, or overseeing the production of a bespoke track, my experience in working in music allows me to get great music for any project, on time and within budget.
