Frank - Film Consulting gives advice and supports producers and their projects:
Everything starts with a good story. But it’s also a matter of the right story at the right time and with the best partners.
Analysing all aspekts of the project from story, target audience and socialcultural context to financing, production structure and distribution leads to the most efficient development of your project.
Soft money financing has become a substantial part of film financing for most independant film projects. But there is a vast number of options and complex regulations.
I guide you through the great number of possibilities for German and European film funding and assist you with handling funding applications.
Knowing all kinds of financing scources and analysing which one suites best for your project helps to secure the financial base. But also cashflow plan, cost reporting and recoupment plans are essential for a solid financing and recoupment strategy.

I've never achieved spectacular success with a film. My reputation has grown slowly. I suppose you could say that I'm a successful filmmaker-in that a number of people speak well of me. But none of my films have received unanimously positive reviews, and none have done blockbuster business.Stanley Kubrick

Having in mind the whole chain of film production from development and financing to production and distribution is of essences for your success. That’s what I have learned by working in the film business for almost 20 years now with experiences in all the parts of the business.
Since 2009 I’m giving advice and assistance to producers for all kind of projects from short films to big budget international co-productions as a freelance consultant. And if you face trouble during preparation or production, let me put it in the words of Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction: „I’m Mr. Wolfe. I solve problems.“
