> Producer of Ron Howard's Alone at Dawn for Amazon MGM; Fmr SVP, Development & Production at The Hideaway

Spent nearly 20 years developing and producing movies - everything from small independent films built from the ground up to large-scale studio projects.

Produced ALONE AT DAWN, the Ron Howard film starring Anne Hathaway and Adam Driver, in theaters Christmas 2027 from Amazon MGM. Sourced the book proposal, developed the screenplay, and packaged the film with Imagine Entertainment.

Executive Producer of CHERRY, the Russo Brothers' Tom Holland film, which Apple bought before release for ~$40 million.

Additional credits include COME SUNDAY, LOOPER, SIDE EFFECTS, THE DISCOVERY, FREEHELD and more, working with best-in-class filmmakers.

Before becoming an independent producer, I was an executive at The Hideaway Entertainment and Endgame Entertainment, where I worked across everything from small independent films built from the ground up to large-scale studio movies. 

I’ve spent my career finding material, developing ideas from scratch, working with writers through countless drafts, packaging projects with filmmakers and actors, pitching studios and financiers, navigating development and figuring out how to actually get movies made.

I’ve also been on the other side of thousands of pitches, scripts and submissions, so I know how quickly people in this business make decisions about material, what makes something stand out, and why a project that should be working sometimes just… isn’t.

That’s the perspective I bring to these conversations: Is there a movie here? Does the idea work? Why isn’t the script landing? What would I change? Who is this for? How do you pitch it? Is it ready to go out? What attachments actually move the needle? 

Things I can advise on:
✔️ Script notes & development
✔️ Developing an idea from scratch
✔️ Finding the hook and making a project more commercial
✔️ Pitching & pitch preparation
✔️ Packaging projects and attaching talent
✔️ Getting a project ready for the marketplace
✔️ What producers, executives and buyers actually look for
✔️ Navigating notes and the development process
✔️ Breaking into the entertainment industry
✔️ Career strategy for writers, directors and others 
✔️ The classic: “I have this project… now what?”

I love working with writers, filmmakers and producers who have something they believe in and want an experienced set of eyes on it. I’ll tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and what I would actually do next if the project were sitting on my desk.

PLEASE NOTE: Sessions are for advice and consulting and are not a means of formally submitting material to me for production consideration.
