When I first stepped into the festival world as an independent filmmaker, I was shocked by how little real guidance existed. Sure, I’d heard of “the big five” and knew a couple local fests, but beyond that? Total fog. I hunted for answers - how to submit strategically, what to do after you get in, and how to turn a screening into actual momentum.

Instead, I found chaos: fragmented advice, bloated submission platforms, and more than 15,000 festivals on FilmFreeway alone.
Each film I produced sharpened my instincts. I started targeting only the right-fit festivals, skipping scams, timing entries for max leverage - and the results followed: more selections, better press, and wins in places where I didn’t know a soul.

Then I joined the other side of the table.
As Vice-Chair and programmer for the Garden State Film Festival, I’ve reviewed thousands of submissions. I’ve seen what gets skipped - and what gets remembered.

Now I bring both perspectives together: filmmaker and gatekeeper. And I’ve built a tool that gives indie filmmakers 24/7 access to the strategy they’ve been missing.

✨ Festival Fixr™ is the first AI-powered strategist built for the film festival circuit. It mirrors the exact frameworks I’ve used in 1:1 consults and my signature course - giving you expert-level guidance, anytime you need it.

🎓 Insider Track™ is my step-by-step festival success system - designed for filmmakers who want to build momentum, land the right selections, and grow their careers with purpose.

💬 1:1 Consults are where I go deep with filmmakers who want custom strategy, submission planning, or profile polish from someone who knows how the circuit really works.

Whether you’re here for tools, strategy, or straight talk - I’ve got you.
