NAVIGATING THE BUSINESS OF 

INDIE FILM

We provide independent filmmakers with the story, film, and brand strategies needed to create, sell, and distribute great films. With fifteen years of experience in the entertainment industry and three award-winning feature films in distribution, we continue to build a catalog of lessons learned, industry insights, and best practices that we share with the indie filmmaking community.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

We provide our insights on the indie filmmaking industry through as many avenues as possible. Don't miss out on the goodness as we put proverbial pen to paper and share our thoughts on the Bonsai Creative blog.

ADVISORY PRODUCERS

As Advisory Producers, we provide critical decision-making support and guidance in story development, financing, cast selection, editing, digital marketing, contract negotiation, and distribution.  We also provide branding and marketing expertise to connect your film with targeted audiences while helping you build a marketable brand for your film from day one.  

In all of our projects, we work alongside the production team to bridge the gap between the art of film and the business of film.  This enables our filmmaking partners to make the most out of each project while avoiding the common pitfalls of the indie film industry.

KEYNOTES & PANELS

One of our defining principles is "Be Engaged."  We make it a point to engage filmmakers whenever and wherever we can.  

​

If you're hosting a community event, managing a film festival, or teaching a class, we would love the opportunity to share our insights with your audience. Our goal with each engagement is to open filmmakers' eyes to the realities of the business of film and prepare them for the journey ahead.
