About this Service

Have you ever wondered -- why can't I get flown to the South of France to make my work? Or how did my arch-nemesis land a Guggenheim? Or simply, how do I find the money to make my project happen?

I know how tough and competitive the funding landscape has become. Writing about your own work, again and again, can be exhausting, especially when you are trying to strike just the right tone to unlock support. That is where I can help.

After raising more than $1.2 million for a feature documentary and helping artists secure support from institutions including the MacArthur Foundation, Sundance, NEA, the Rainin Foundation, Guggenheim, MASS MoCA, Harvard, and Princeton, I have seen firsthand how transformative the right application, at the right time, can be.

I offer grant writing and application support for filmmakers and artists applying to major grants, labs, and residencies. I also offer opportunity curation -- where I make a list of opportunities tailored to your needs and the type of artist you are.

I specialize in translating your creative vision into language that resonates with funders: clear, powerful, and tailored to each opportunity. My clients have received funding from the MacArthur Foundation, Sundance, NEA, NEH, and SFFILM, and have been accepted into residencies including Yaddo, MacDowell, Marble House, Ucross, MASS MoCA, Anderson Ranch, Djerassi, Camargo and many more.

I am currently taking on a limited number of clients for late summer and early fall deadlines, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, Radcliffe Fellowship, Princeton’s Hodder Fellowship, Princeton Arts Fellowship, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant, the Catapult Film Fund, and others.

If you want to sharpen your applications, expand your funding prospects, and finally feel confident about how you are presenting your work, please reach out.

About this Lister

I’m a filmmaker, writer, and grant strategist who loves helping artists get the money and support they need to make their work. I know firsthand how overwhelming the funding world can feel. I love simplifying it for people. I also love seeing my clients get opportunities they have put themselves up for, and I enjoy making the process less intimidating — and more successful — for other creatives. As an artist, I speak the language of artists and translate that into language that will appeal to funders and selection committees.
