Unlike many consultants who focus on just one aspect of filmmaking, Spencer takes

a holistic approach, addressing story, production, financing, marketing, and

distribution as interconnected elements. He understands that a great script

and a distribution strategybefore they even start shooting. His ability to guide

projects from concept to completion ensures that clients avoid common mistakes

and make smart creative and business decisions.
