1st AD, script supervisor and producer working between Houston and Los Angeles. I run the day, track every take and build the team, so your story makes it to the screen.
SENDYOURPROJECT
I help filmmakers, artists and brands go from idea to wrap without losing the heart of the story.
I'm the writer-director of Zydeco!Zydeco!Zydeco!, a Houston short that raised over $23k from our community. I've run sets as a 1st AD, produced live events, and made reels for local artists.
Whether you need someone to direct, keep the day on schedule, build your crew or make your content pop, I bring the plan and the energy.

I break down your script, build the shooting schedule, write the call sheets and run the floor. Your days end on time and everyone knows what's next.
I track every take, line and prop so your editor has everything they need and nothing breaks in the cut.
I plan the budget and schedule, find and book your crew, lock locations and keep production moving through delivery.
These are indie & micro-budget rates for non-union productions. Budgets of $10k–$50k are 25% higher. Studio, network, brand and well-funded projects are quoted based on scope and budget, and union projects are quoted separately. Depending on the project, price may vary.

I raised $23k+ for an indie short through crowdfunding, a fiscal sponsor and community events. I'll help you get ready to raise yours.
At least 2 weeks before your first prep or shoot day. Shorter notice may still work, but it adds a rush fee because I have to clear my schedule fast.
I'm based in Houston and work regularly in Los Angeles. For shoots anywhere else, production covers travel and lodging plus a $50/day per diem, and out-of-town shoot days add $150/day. Travel days are set in your deal memo.
Day rates cover a 12-hour day. After 12 hours, overtime is billed at 1.5x the hourly rate. I also ask for at least 10 hours of turnaround between days.
I take Stripe (card, Apple Pay and more) and check or invoice for companies. Directing, producing, AD, writing, reels and bundle bookings need a signed deal memo and a 30% deposit to hold your dates; you can cancel for a full refund within 24 hours. Producer, Director and writing fees are split into payments over the project. Smaller services like script notes and fundraising prep are paid when you book.
Build your estimate and watch the price update as you add what you need. Your final price is set together at our consultation.
I believe communication before, during and after set is everything. That's why I built this quote page. But it's never a wall: if you have a question, an idea, or you're not sure where to start, always reach out.
