Services
I work with studios, networks, production companies, and post facilities that need senior post leadership on a project or slate basis – especially for TV, streaming series, and live or multi‑camera events.
Workflow design & optimization
End‑to‑end post workflows for scripted and unscripted: ingest, editorial, color, mix, and delivery. Designed around your tools, teams, and delivery partners.
Delivery readiness (studio & streamer)
Technical specs, QC expectations, and delivery checklists for Netflix, studios, and networks – so your shows pass on the first try.
Post operations & staffing
Org design, vendor strategy, and practical post scheduling. Helping you align people, process, and infrastructure across multiple locations.
Budgeting & scenario planning
Build or stress‑test post budgets, forecast across pilots and series, and identify where you can safely save versus where you should not cut corners.
