Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with first-time filmmakers?
Absolutely. Many of my most successful coaching relationships have been with first-time documentary filmmakers. My teaching background at Olympic College has given me extensive experience in breaking down complex concepts for emerging filmmakers.
Can you help with documentaries already in production?
Yes. I often work with filmmakers who hit challenges mid-production. Whether it's story problems, budget issues, or production crises, I can provide guidance to get your project back on track.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, payment plans are available for all packages. We can discuss options during your free consultation.
What if I'm not in the Pacific Northwest?
Most of my coaching is conducted via video conferencing, and I work with filmmakers worldwide. Distance has never been a barrier to effective coaching.
How long do coaching relationships typically last?
Some filmmakers complete their goals in a few months, while others work with me throughout multi-year productions. The Intensive Package includes a full year of support, but many relationships extend beyond formal packages.
