Consultations One-on-One

Book a One-on-One Consultation

Good to Know

What a Consultation Is

A one-on-one learning session. It's part of CFA's education program — the same teaching we do in workshops, just for one person.

What It Is Not

We do not provide crew, production services, or consulting to production companies, studios, or brands. If you're a company looking for a cinematographer or a production consultant, we're glad to point you to members of our community instead.

Who It's For

Actors, filmmakers, students, and working crew who are looking for guidance.

Fees

Consultation fees are program fees that support CFA's education work. CFA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
