FILM SURGERY

What is Film Surgery?

The film surgery is for people who need help in any area of filmmaking, from story development to distribution strategy. We are a network of friends and cinephiles who love to watch films as much as make them.

Our aim is to provide a cost effective and honest solution to aiding the film making process.

If we do not know the answers, we will find a person who does. We will try to connect you with someone, somewhere in the world, usually via Zoom, to help solve your problems.
