MENTORING

CHARACTERS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION

And the Oscar goes to… usually a character with a psychological disease. Portraying a person who experiences the world differently can be challenging, but extremely rewarding at the same time. 

SITUATIONS IN THERAPY

Even if you don't plan to write the next House M.D., E.R. or Therapy, you might want to portray therapeutic situations authentically and insightfully. Coming from both a medical and psychological background, I can help you make certain cases and affairs clear.

PITCH-DECK CONSULTATION

You have a brilliant idea for your next film, but presenting it to the relevant people is an art. You might want to introduce your project to provisory producers who can help you turn your dream into reality. Or you need to create a pitch-deck for your cast and crew, so they are all on the same page when it comes to making your film...

SHORT SCRIPT CONSULTATION 

When I was preparing for my first short film, one of the most influential and inspiring producers told me the secret of a great short story: it lies either in the movie's atmosphere or in the twist in the end. Not mentioning the length of it - keep it snappy, he said. Killing your darlings can be painful, but it is worth going through the process if it improves your story. 

TREATMENT / SCRIPTMENT CONSULTATION

Before you engage in the fun part - writing the script and filling your story with life - make sure that the structure is flawless.

FEATURE SCRIPT CONSULTATION

It takes a long time from writing the first draft to the very last one. Actually, your script is going to be rewritten until the first day of shooting. Location, casting, working with your cinematographer blocking the scenes and rehearsing with your actors, who bring their own ideas on the table - these will all alter the final outcome...

SHORT FILM: PRE-PRODUCTION MENTORING

You have a completed script, and you are ready to go into pre-production. However, there are many steps until you shout "Action!" for the first time. 

SHORT FILM: PRODUCTION AND POST-PRODUCTION MENTORING

You are almost over those adrenaline-filled, fantastic and hopefully rewarding days of shooting your short film. You have the footage, and everybody asks when they can see your completed film. Well.. it takes time.
