Producer. Production counsel. Partner to filmmakers.

Across 100+ productions as legal counsel and 10+ as producer or line producer, I have represented every seat at the table — investors, actors, directors, writers, and producers — on budgets ranging from $500K to $30M, with theatrical and SVOD releases.

The majority of my practice, though, is producer-side: partnering with lead producers to get their projects funded, developed, packaged, and sold. Chain of title through delivery, financing docs through sales agreements, the unglamorous work that decides whether a film actually gets made.

Film is an industry where returning capital is the hardest problem. I am solutions-oriented by temperament, and the value I add is usually a network and an angle.

• Deep network. Long relationships with financiers, sales agents, festivals, post houses, and crew — the people who actually move a project.
• High-intensity small-market marketing. Manufacturing word-of-mouth and recoupment runway in markets most distributors overlook.
• Creative distribution and rights structuring. Designed to maximize ROI in an industry where most films never see their money back.
• Producer's partner end-to-end. Script through delivery — chain of title, talent deals, financing docs, production legal, E&O, delivery, and sales.

I founded Florenza LLC to produce investigative-journalism documentaries on locations across the world, directing on-set teams of up to 100 people across multiple continents.

The work demanded operational leadership at scale — running the regulatory, financing, talent, logistics, and physical-security workstreams in parallel while keeping a creative team focused on the story. It is the experience I draw on every time a producer walks me through a project that has to move.
