Description
A great film idea is not enough. You also need to communicate its creative vision, emotional power, audience, and viability in a way that makes people want to get involved. In this five-session package, we’ll transform your film idea or existing materials into a clear, compelling pitch deck designed to capture attention and inspire confidence. We’ll develop the project’s core positioning, strengthen its story, determine what belongs in the deck, and refine the language and visual direction of each section. Drawing from my experience developing, financing, producing, marketing, and distributing independent films, I’ll help you balance creative ambition with the practical information producers, funders, investors, collaborators, and fellowship committees need to see. By the end of the package, you’ll have a polished pitch deck, sharper language for discussing your project, and a clearer strategy for putting the materials in front of the right people. This package is designed for documentary and narrative filmmakers who: • Have a film idea but are struggling to articulate its full potential • Have an existing deck that feels unclear, generic, or visually inconsistent • Are preparing to approach producers, investors, grantmakers, labs, or collaborators • Need to clarify their story, characters, themes, audience, or creative approach • Want honest industry feedback before sending their materials into the world You do not need to have a finished screenplay, trailer, or production team. We can begin with an idea, treatment, early draft, or existing pitch deck.

Award-Winning Filmmaker | Documentary Development, Funding & Festivals
I'm an award-winning filmmaker and producer with 10 years of experience across independent film, documentary, and entertainment, including work with A24, Condé Nast Entertainment, and Verizon Media. I directed and produced "Hoop Like This", an independent feature documentary that has screened at festivals across North America, including CAAMFest, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, and the Asian American International Film Festival. I've navigated the process of developing, financing, producing, and bringing an independent feature to audiences, including fundraising, fiscal sponsorship, festival submissions, audience development, and distribution strategy. I've also been selected for some of the industry's competitive development opportunities, including the Women in Film's Creative Documentary Producing Fellowship, Netflix DART, and The Salon Mentorship Program. I help emerging filmmakers turn ambitious ideas into actionable plans, whether that's developing a documentary, creating a compelling pitch deck, navigating grants and fellowships, building a realistic budget, planning a festival strategy, or figuring out how to sustain a creative career while getting independent projects made. My coaching combines firsthand filmmaking experience with practical, honest guidance about the business of independent film, including the challenges and opportunities that aren't always taught in film school.
