GET HELP WITH YOUR 
DOCUMENTARY

The story is already there

The challenge is that after months—or sometimes years—of living with a documentary, it becomes almost impossible to see it clearly anymore.

​​That's where I come in.

Think of me as the producer you bring into the edit room when the film has stopped making people lean forward.

Sometimes the problem is structure.
Sometimes it's pacing. Sometimes you've become too close to your characters or too attached to the footage to recognize what's really driving the story.

Whatever the reason, my job isn't to impose a formula. It's to help you recognize the film that's already there. 

I've spent thirty years walking into edit rooms where everyone knew something wasn't working—but nobody could agree why.  

I've turned those stories around for​​​​Netflix, Showtime, TNT, National Geographic, Discovery & more.   

Now I help people to improve their stories.  Affordably. 
 

I don't help filmmakers invent stories. I help them recognize the one that's been hiding in plain sight.

what my clients say

ANDREA SKIPPER, PRODUCER

Kevin is amazing. He provided immediate feedback on my scripts when I was under tight deadlines. He was always available and gave constructive notes with a sense of humor. I am grateful for his expertise and I'm looking forward to working with him again!

DARAH GOLUB, DIRECTOR

I've been collecting footage for my longitudinal music documentary for over a decade, and after all these years I've never been able to figure out the storytelling puzzle or put a structure together that felt like an actual film. Enter Kevin! With the most easy going yet decisive and professional manner, Kevin jumped in head first to familiarize himself with mountains of material and confidently guide us through the process of clarifying intention, character development and structure. He's fun, he's flexible. And best of all, he really cares. He truly goes above and beyond with his time and energy. At this point he's not only a story consultant but a constant cheerleader and motivator who I know will be a valued collaborator through the rest of this filmmaking journey. And for all of this, his rates cannot be beat!

BRITTANY GOODEN, DIRECTOR

Kevin mentored me through creating my documentary sizzle, which went viral and got me to meet with some of the largest streamers and networks. He helped me organize story and story materials, work through character development, and gave notes on my sizzle. I highly recommend working with Kevin. 

RICK SYMONDS, DIRECTOR/EDITOR

After more than a decade of gathering footage and editing various cuts, I kept hitting a wall. The story was there, but something wasn’t clicking. Kevin helped change that. He has an incredible ability to see the bigger picture while honing in on the smallest details that make a story resonate. He understood the character, the journey, and the stakes—not just for the film but for the audience.
Working with him was a pleasure. He brings a sharp storytelling instinct, a great sense of humour, and a real enthusiasm for the process. But more than that, he genuinely cares—not just about getting the story right, but about making sure you actually finish the project and get it out into the world. After spending so long working in isolation, having someone to check in, push you forward, and remind you why you started is invaluable.

ERIC FORMAN, DIRECTOR 

Kevin has a rare ability to cut through complexity and get to the heart of a story. Drawing on his deep experience with criminal justice–related projects, he understands not only the legal and political dimensions of these cases, but how to translate their complexity and often systemic failures into clear, emotionally resonant storytelling for a general audience. His notes are sharp, honest, and deeply thoughtful, and he’s a true collaborator who consistently strengthens the work.
