ABOUT OUR CONSULTATIONS:

Space is limited. Sessions are booked, on a first-come, first-served basis. When you register, you will be prompted to answer questions and submit your work to help your Advisor prepare for your session. 


Pricing is dependent on the session length and topics covered. Currently, Summer Shelton is offering 30-minute sessions for $100 where she can consult on casting, budgeting, or pitching. She can also offer general guidance on writing, directing, producing, and acting.


She is also offering 60-minute sessions for $300 where she can review your pitch deck, logline/synopsis/bio/artist statement, short film screenplay (under 20 pages), short film (under 20 minutes), or short film budget in advance, and then provide feedback in the meeting. A 60-minute session is also an opportunity for deeper conversations where she can consult on casting, budgeting, or pitching, or general guidance on writing, directing, producing, and acting.

FAQs

Which session length is right for me?
  • If you have general questions you’d like insight on such as career guidance, a 30-minute session should be right for you.
  • If you’d like to have your work reviewed and receive feedback, you’ll want to schedule a 60-minute session for detailed feedback during your session.
What type of work can I receive feedback on?

Each Advisor may provide different services. Advisors will review projects in advance to provide feedback during 60-minute sessions (ex: short film, screenplay, pitch deck review, etc.). Advanced project feedback is not available during our 30-minute sessions. 30-minute sessions do allow for conversation around works-in-progress or practice pitches, but Advisors do not review work in advance.
