Designed to help you save money, work more effectively and create better art. 


The earlier in the process you can do these, the better.


DOCUMENTARY Workshop

So much of documentary editing is finding out what you REALLY want to say.  This workshop helps you do what I wish every director I’ve ever worked with had done before, during and after shooting.  We will dig deep together to get clear on the documentary you want to make, so you can communicate how you want to make it.


We’ll discuss structure, tone, and story, and you’ll be able to convey to investors, collaborators, your editor (especially important if it’s YOU) and more importantly your AUDIENCE what you want to say, how you want to say it.


3 hours a week - $375 a month  Current times offered:  Wednesday 1-4, Thursday 1-4, and Tuesday evening 7-10  I’m open to adding other times, so please feel free to suggest.  Email me now to book space.


Private sessions also available for $100 an hour.


DOCUMENTARY Workshop: Weekend Intensive

November 7th and 8th


Please email me if you are interested.


My extensive experience writing and editing have coalesced into an intuitive approach grounded in classic structure and imagination.

  1. Out of class we watch films that are relevant to what you are working on and learn from them in class.
