 CUT REVIEW 

Documentary Edit review
You’re too close to your film. That’s the problem.


You’ve watched it a hundred times. The story’s there… somewhere. But the cut feels off. The pacing drags. The scenes don’t land. The characters fade. The music’s not helping. And worst of all — you hate your own film.

You’re not alone. Since starting docstory911, I’ve worked with many filmmakers in the same spot — talented, exhausted, and stuck. Ninety percent of the time, the issue is structure. The story got lost in the cut.

That’s where I come in.

Send me your rough cut — Frame.io or similar is ideal. I’ll watch it straight through and give you detailed, time-coded notes. Then we’ll talk. Together, we’ll rework the bones of the story — scene by scene, beat by beat — and test a new structure on one key sequence.

From there, I’ll help guide you through rough cut, fine cut, and picture lock.

This isn’t about tearing your film down. It’s about helping you see it clearly again — and rebuilding it with purpose.

I charge $100/hour, but every project’s different. What matters most is this: if your story is worth telling, it’s worth telling well.

Let’s fix it. And then, let’s get it seen.
