Michele has spent decades learning what they don’t teach you — in film school, in writers rooms, or in any development meeting. Pre-production, production, post-production, budgeting, distribution, screenplay development, pilot writing. The full arc of independent filmmaking and theater, from the first idea to the final cut.

She has done this work as a favor for people she believed in. Now she is making it available more broadly — not as a business, but as another form of teaching. Another way of passing on what took years to learn.

If you are an independent filmmaker, a writer developing a pilot or screenplay, or a theater maker trying to figure out how to get your project made, she is happy to talk.
