Consulting
MIND MOIRÉ gives constructive and illuminating feedback for film and art projects at any stage.
Our approach
We look at works in progress with fresh eyes, take notes, and offer carefully considered feedback in one-on-one sessions. We’re comfortable having conversations about a wide variety of cinematic forms including features, shorts, episodic content, genre films, documentaries, experimental narratives, video art, and multi-channel installations, among others. Depending upon the project and the needs of each artist, our feedback sessions can focus on a myriad of different things: strengths & weaknesses, story clarity, performances, pacing, aesthetics, audience expectations, technical issues, workflows, postproduction timelines, and more. We’re available to discuss projects in any stage and can have conversations about projects before any footage is shot as well as when they are nearing completion.
Over two decades of experience
We understand how invaluable it is to receive honest feedback. We have over two decades of experience successfully editing film and art projects, and we’ve had countless one-on-one conversations with filmmakers, artists, and grad students about their work. We love looking at works in progress, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and figuring out ways to make each project succeed on their own terms.
Tailored to the needs of each project
Some projects need a single consultation and others need a series of conversations over weeks, months or even years. Some people want feedback after assembling a rough cut, some want advice before they shoot, and some want lots of feedback while they’re editing. We’ll work with you to find a rhythm that works best for you and your project. We also understand that processing changes and implementing solutions can take time for an artist – so when you go back to your studio to work on the next draft, we know to be patient.
Thoughtful feedback
We make films too, and we understand that when finishing a project you may encounter unexpected detours that can be scary, thrilling, and exhilarating. We try to give feedback in a way that is mindful of the artist’s vision and that takes into account practical and monetary constraints, while being aware of looming project deadlines. We want to see each and every project that we work on succeed.

A 60-minute conversation focused on developing your project. It’s usually for projects at the earliest stages before they’ve been shot or edited, but it can also happen during production or postproduction. It’s a time to bounce ideas around and chat about technical concerns, conceptual ideas, approaches to narrative, or just ask for advice.
-
If you’ve got a tech question we can help you figure it out. We can research a problem and get back to you, or we can try to troubleshoot together online. It all depends on the issue, how you like to work and how quickly you need an answer.
-
This is for artists and filmmakers who want a more in-depth relationship over the course of a project. These conversations can last more than an hour and can occur with whatever frequency the project needs.
