Hi there,
Are you a filmmaker who wants to create great work, that is truly appreciated, and actually makes money? If so, I would like to help you achieve those goals.

My name is Joanne Butcher.  I work with independent filmmakers to create critically successful films that make money.  

What I find is that filmmakers struggle with basic business practices that would allow them to make money on the extremely hard work they do, selecting projects that work in the marketplace, and understanding the business path to success. What they really want is create films they are proud of, get the visibility those films deserve, and make money doing what they love - filmmaking.
You can find me speaking every month in San Francisco and at International Film Festivals.
I also work one-on-one as an Executive Coach to Independent Filmmakers.
Contact me at joanne@filmmakersuccess.com
I look forward to speaking with you and working with you for the success of your next film.
