An individual consultation or mentorship process can cover different aspects of the process in developing, producing and distributing documentary film or media. This includes aspects of story development, script writing, production, financing, distribution, outreach, festival strategies, etc.

Feedback is mostly given in terms of written feedback for you to use in the further work with your project. All consultations can also have a video meeting added for further in depth discussions about the potential of the project in discussion.

Below are some standard solutions for consultations. In addition to these packages, consultations can be set up with your specific needs in mind.
