Project or Scope-of-Work Review:

Information should be submitted in the form of up to three or four paragraphs via email. If I believe I can be of service, I can provide an Initial Consult. This will consist of approximately four hours of my time - typically 60 – 90 minutes for review of written materials, budgets, footage; and as applicable, research, plus discussion via Zoom in one or two sessions. The fee for an Initial Consult is $1,500, payable in advance. This applies to creative projects, as well as management and project assessments. For evaluation of works-in-progress or finished work of 60 to 90 min in length. I screen the work with your time-coded transcript, followed by a discussion of editorial notes, business and festival strategy and distribution possibilities.

Depending on the scope of work, additional consulting time is billed at $200-300/hour. For longer-term projects an appropriate hourly, half-day, or day-rate can be arranged. If you are seeking several reviews of your rough/fine cut throughout post-production, or assistance with writing grants or marketing materials, a package fee can be determined. 

If your project or film is “market ready” and something I would like to represent, we may set up a development agreement (for projects not yet completed) on a commission basis that is typically 15% of contracted amounts. All license agreements are negotiated subject to your review and approval of terms, and are directly between you and the buyer. I invoice you for the commission, which is payable as you receive the funds. I can invoice buyers on your behalf and work closely with you to oversee contract management and delivery. 

A start-up fee of $1,200 is due at the beginning of the representation period to cover initial handling, marketing, and administrative costs. If there are significant changes in the production schedule, I require an additional fee payment that would provide for my on-going engagement in the absence of production milestones being met or pre-sales being completed. All other overheads are borne by me unless a specific expense and payment arrangement is agreed in advance by both parties.
