Complete Video Packages
Every film is different, and the many factors involved in creating your original project will effect both my rate as well as the overall cost of the project. A short film involving help from start to finish, including script coverage, storyboarding, planning, budgeting, scheduling, filling out SAG-AFTRA and insurance forms, hiring talent, hiring crew members, assisting on set, video editing, and custom multimedia can easily cost $3000 over the course of two to six weeks. Added fees may come from the rates of the crew members, hiring talent, renting locations, renting equipment, etc. A more simplified short film can be made for as little as $600 and be produced in under a week if certain resources are already provided. Below are some examples of different films and their estimated price tags.

Policies and Disclaimers
When you buy a package of time with me, I commit to having enough time to serve you. This affects how many other clients I can take on. For that reason, I have the following policies in place:
If you want to make sure my style works for you, I suggest booking either a free consultation or an hour to start. If you decide to book a package afterward, I will apply the fee from the first hour towards the total price.
We're both professionals, which means we both know why we need to pay invoices on time, but I understand that things occasionally slip through the cracks. To prevent that from happening, I have some more policies:
Finally, because you are a professional and this would be your project, you are also the legally responsible party. That means:
- All cancellations for PreProduction and Production work must be made 48 hours in advance to qualify for a full refund or a chance to reschedule.
- All cancellations for Post Production work must be made before I receive any footage to qualify for a full refund.
- All cancellations for Mobile Self Tape Services must be made 24 hours in advance to qualify for a full refund or a chance to reschedule. This does not apply to same-day bookings.
- After a 10-minute grace period, any unexpected time spent on Mobile Self Tape Services is subject to a fee of $1.50 per minute.
- If you need to cancel services outside of those specified parameters, you are eligible to receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the total cost.
- Because of the nature of some of these services, some added fees may be passed onto you as a result of using services provided by other websites and companies.
If you want to make sure my style works for you, I suggest booking either a free consultation or an hour to start. If you decide to book a package afterward, I will apply the fee from the first hour towards the total price.
We're both professionals, which means we both know why we need to pay invoices on time, but I understand that things occasionally slip through the cracks. To prevent that from happening, I have some more policies:
- Payment for any service is due 30 days after the services were provided. Payments made after that time period may be subjected to late fees.
- For every 30 days that a payment is late, an additional 15% of the total cost will be added to the total price.
- Since no one wants to spend their hard earned money paying late fees, I will send you reminders at least a calendar week before any payment is due so you can avoid those additional charges.
Finally, because you are a professional and this would be your project, you are also the legally responsible party. That means:
- All of the insurance forms, SAG-AFTRA forms, etc. would be in your name.
- If you infringe on someone else’s copyright, or if someone wants to sue you for being injured on your set, you will have to provide reparations and possibly seek your own legal representation.
- I also don't want these things to happen, so while I'm not a lawyer, I will do whatever preventative maintenance practices I can so this never becomes an issue in the first place.
