Time to Pay it Forward
It's time to pay it forward.
I am a filmmaker. And make movies. That's what I do. It's hard for me to imagine doing something in the entertainment business outside of being an artist. But it's time to start paying things forward. Some changes are coming.
Last month, I was on the Film Jury at the 2012 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. And I'll be honest. Being on the film jury there for eight days, watching movies, and helping other filmmakers, gave me a different perspective on some things. Reflecting back on my background of over 25 years in stage and film, I've done a lot over the years. Been a lot of places. Done a lot of things. Shared my art, messages, and have got films out to the world. Slamdance was the first place that screened one of my films years ago. And now, here I am, helping fellow filmmakers with getting their films screened. It's destiny.
It's time to pay it forward.
I'll be helping a handful of filmmakers who had films in Park City this year get their films out on the festival circuit. And branch out to other filmmakers as well. We all have stories to tell. And can't do it alone. Well, you can. But I'll be honest. It helps to have people in your back pocket.
And that's what this new film festival consultant is here for. To help the next generation of filmmakers get their stories out to the world.

14 Film Festival Invitations...and Counting
The film festival invites keep coming. And the films keep screening.
Case in point: this month alone, I received invitations to 14 film festivals for films of mine that have played worldwide: 1 feature film, and 2 short films. When you have a movie that people want to see, it's easy to get it seen. Take it from me. I've been there. And done that. And continue to do that.
I believe the best person as a film festival consultant for a independent filmmaker is a real working independent filmmaker.
Making your movie is the easy part. Getting it out there for the world to see is a job in itself.
But it's easy to become a master of the film festival circuit.

The Short Film Market
The short film market can be difficult to master. But if you have the right mindset, knowledge and tools, you can become a well-known filmmaker around the world and be broke at the same time.
Take it from someone's who's been there and done that. Back in 2005, I was a 20 year veteran of stage and screen, but had yet to make my first movie. After living in L.A. for over 10 years, I said 'Fuck Hollywood. I'm going to go back home, and make my own movies, my way'. And now, six years later, and scores of several award winning short films that combined, have screened worldwide at over 300 film festivals, this true indie filmmaker has been through it all. Let me help you with your short film.
