Direct, practical guidance

Ask a Documentary Filmmaking Pro

Bring one focused question or a bigger strategic problem. Choose the level of help that fits the decision in front of you.

One Question

A focused written answer — $50

Use this when one specific decision is holding up your project: a funding move, festival choice, distribution path, contract clause, music-clearance issue, or another documentary filmmaking question.

Ask One Question — $50

What you receive

One thoughtful written response tailored to your question
Relevant reference links and practical next steps
Delivery to your submitted email within 24 hours

What we don’t promise

This is focused professional guidance, not legal advice, a full project review, done-for-you work, or a promise of funding, festival acceptance, distribution, press, or introductions.

Professional Consult

A one-hour strategic consult — $500

Use this for a more complex producing problem. Bring your deck, rough cut, festival list, distribution offer, budget, or other shareable materials and work through the decision live on Zoom.

What we don’t promise

A consult does not guarantee financing, festival acceptance, a sale, distribution, press coverage, introductions, or a particular outcome. It is strategic guidance, not legal representation or done-for-you production work.
