My Filmmaking Process


Over the years, I've developed a filmmaking process that is clear, efficient, and built around telling impactful stories.
I believe a small, focused team is the key to bringing a unified vision to the screen.






#1 Client Meeting

Every project starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your goals, audience, and how the film will be used.




#2 Pitch & Budget

Based on your needs, we develop a creative pitch and a detailed budget- ensuring transparency and alignment from the start.




#3 Pre-Production & Production

With a solid plan in place, we bring the film to life—writing the script, scouting locations, finding talent, and, yes, checking the weather (I do this a lot).

Shoot days are where everything comes together. I just love seeing a film come together on location, it's still what I love most about filmmaking.





#4 Post-Production

This stage is all about storytelling. We refine pacing, enhance mood, and shape the film's overall feel—ensuring the audience not only sees the story but truly feels it.






#5 Delivery, Distribution & Promotion

We deliver your film in multiple formats and, most importantly, ensure it reaches the right audience on the right platforms- maximizing its impact.



From start to finish, this process is seamless, efficient, and built to create films that stand out.
