Why you should listen to what I have to say

Brian Belefant, DGA: I actually get paid to write and direct, which in the absence of any other yardstick implies that I know what I'm doing. Most of what I do is commercials. They're not as glamorous as films, but they make for really good training. It's harder to fit a ton of shit in a 30-second bag than in a 90-minute bag. After more than 15 years, I've learned some stuff. If you find my opinions helpful, great. If not, sorry to have wasted your time. Good thing I know how to keep things short, huh?

Individual consultation

They say anything worthwhile is worth paying for, so I'm now offering consulting services.

I'm available for any level of involvement, from one-hour phone consultations to ongoing guidance, where I work with you from pre-production through post as your 'assistant', providing discreet advice as you direct and flagging potential problems before they become disasters. Kind of like a good caddy.

Contact me for details.
