A consulting producer offers expert guidance throughout your film’s production cycle. We bring a depth of film production experience, as well as industry standard tools, resources, and professional connections to give you a leg up in a competitive market. The right consultant will accelerate your production timeline, strengthen your vision, and put you on the path to getting your film made and in front of audiences.

Yes. All our services remain confidential and protected by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Our Terms of Service also includes language that automatically makes all documents submitted electronically subject to privacy and copyright law.
After submitting your script and signing an NDA, we schedule a call to talk through your project’s specific needs, go over expectations for your service agreement and send you an invoice. Once the contract is signed and we receive the initial deposit, we request the native file of your script (Final Draft or Celtx), schedule a follow up call to go over the deliverables, including budgets, script breakdowns and production schedules.
Typically 2-4 weeks but if you need rush services we can discuss solutions based on the needs of your deadlines.
While it’s necessary to have some initial funds to get started, our consulting producers can work around your budget and utilize their financially savvy skills to make sure your vision sees its maximum potential no matter what you have to spend.
At Gotoma we work with filmmakers of all experience levels, and we are happy to teach our clients the basics if necessary. Everyone starts somewhere and with Gotoma you are in good hands to begin your journey.
Absolutely! We can help at any stage of production, and are more than ready to jump in and work with you, whether it’s putting out fires on set or coming to help with finishing/post-production, we can step in and get your project back on track.
Generally it can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but it can be longer depending on multiple factors including development time, shooting schedule and post-production schedule. Other considerations include the length of the script, the complexity of production needs, and the amount of money in the budget.
While we work to help develop your vision and strategize pitch materials, we can never guarantee your idea will be bought and sold for distribution, that you will get representation from a talent agency or get a meeting with a network. Our services are meant to give you a leg up in a competitive market and provide the highest quality tools and resources for you to succeed. It’s important to keep this in mind when shopping your idea to potential investors.
