One-to-one mentoring for artists, filmmakers and creative organisations
"The genius is revealed not in absolute perfection of a work but in absolute fidelity to himself, in commitment to his own passion." Andrei Tarkovsky
For a limited time only, I am offering one-to-one mentoring for individuals and organisations at an introductory offer of £35* per session. This highly informative 45-minute session will take place by Skype at a time pre-arranged to suit you.
The one-to-one mentoring sessions are primarily suitable for:
- Artists and filmmakers of all levels (novice, hobbyist, emerging, professional);
- Artists of all disciplines and mediums (including inter/multi-disciplinary practitioners);
- Creative individuals and students who wish to work in the creative sector;
- Organisations looking to work with and/or commission artists or filmmakers.
Exploring a broad range of approaches and methods in relation to your needs, I offer my skills, knowledge and practical experience as a professional artist and filmmaker of ten years standing to inform and enable you to realise the full potential for your projects. Fully appreciating that each individual and organisation is unique, I provide a carefully tailored person-centred, proactive approach to developing your practice and/or business.
With an extensive track record, experiential insights and a clear understanding of the dynamic nature of being a self-employed practicing artist and filmmaker, I enable you to establish clarity in relation to your projects, long term goals and career trajectory. If your company or organisation is seeking to engage artists or filmmakers in a project that requires an imaginative approach, I will be happy to discuss your requirements in detail.
With a clear focus on embodying your personal values in your creative practice/business, I seek to ensure that you are able to interact with your audiences and project partners with integrity of vision, creating valuable legacy. Highly skilled at connecting and communicating with people, I have a unique ability to explore your concerns, translating these into manageable tasks. Enabling you to fulfil your potential, attain sustainability, save time, and utilise strategies to avoid pitfalls and mistakes that will take your projects and activities to the next level.
All matters discussed during the mentoring sessions will be kept private and treated with the strictest confidence. If you wish me to participate in your project in an advisory capacity I would be happy to discuss this with you.
My bespoke one-to-one mentoring sessions are designed to assist you by sharing my expert advice and strategic insights, allowing for you and/or your organisation to professionally develop, with a key focus on:
- Accessing useful contact networks/industry specialists (local, national, international);
- Approaching curators/distributors/festivals/galleries/venues;
- Funding (private/public, including Arts Council England grants), drafting bids/proposals, developing ideas, pitching/presentations;
