cut 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
