Hello Everyone, I’m a LINE PRODUCER and PRODUCTION MANAGER for scripted long and short-form programming such as feature films, digital/new media, branded, corporate videos, and photography. I function as the BUSINESS backbone so that you can focus on the creative side of production. I ensure that everyone gets paid and that the project is positioned to make money.
In the DEVELOPMENT stage, I create an industry-standard LINE ITEM BUDGET and PRODUCTION SCHEDULE which can be used for a business plan, fundraising or for PREPRODUCTION. Then count on me to execute that plan during PRODUCTION and POST.
If hired you'll have access to my 30+ years of knowledge. I can provide referrals to an entertainment business lawyer, casting director, clearance and licensing professionals, experts on digital workflow and storage, and if desired a film sales representative. I'm very committed to my work and give you 100% to create and sell your project.
How can I be of assistance to you or your organization?

Hi David, the feature I'm working on may not make the 90 minute mark. Lately I've been seriously thinking of making it myself, but don't know how to go about doing so. I would love your help when I'm ready. If you don't mind keep in touch.

HI David, sounds like you have a handle on the business - kinda have to w Business backbone, financial, new media, etc. Thank you for this ! As a musician, I understand the need for recognition.
Since I'm the creative type in my life right now, def. understand the pressure /work load to make it happen, so people like myself can focus on writing, performing and teaching.
Hi David! Nice to meet you!
