What people are saying from past consultations:
Thomas T.
Filmmaker
My brother and I scheduled a 1 on 1 consultation call with Kent for our short film. We improved the characters and nailed down the ending of the script and more on this call. We love his YouTube videos but jumping on a call with him was on another level. Learned a lot! It was game changer for our production!!
Ultimo D.

Typically between 25-30 minutes, with a maximum of 30 minutes.
Note: If you’re submitting something very short for feedback (like a :60 editing reel), the response video will be shorter as there is only so much breakdown & feedback I can give on 1 minute of material.
Both. These are most helpful if you already have something made and want clear, professional feedback to improve it.
Whether you’re early in your journey, or preparing for festivals or clients, the focus is on making your work stronger.
No. This is feedback and direction, not a rewrite or hands-on edit. The goal is to help you understand what’s working, what isn’t, and how to improve it — so you can make better creative decisions yourself.

About Me
I focus on story & substance over style, and take a very practical approach to filmmaking, built from 20+ years of helming scrappy, low & no-budget shoots.
I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim.
My 2019 short film, Will “The Machine”, screened and won awards at film festivals around the world, before releasing online through Omeleto and gaining 3 million views.
As an editor, I’ve done work for brands such as Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon, Sony Pictures, Beats by Dre, Nickelodeon, Air Jordan, Postmates, CollegeHumor, and more.
I also run the YouTube channel Standard Story Company, entertaining & educating over 275,000 subscribers with original films & filmmaking advice.
