No Filmmaker Succeeds Alone. Let’s Navigate Your Story Together.
We know documentaries aren’t made in isolation. It takes a dedicated, seasoned crew to get a film across the finish line. Think of Mentor My Film as an extension of your team, bringing veteran guidance to your story when you need it most.
Backed by 30+ years of Emmy-winning broadcast experience, Mentor My Film is a non-profit fellowship offering subsidized story labs, rough-cut auditing, and university masterclasses to keep your story on course.
Send out the Beacon. Get Your Story Back on Track
Every non-fiction project hits a point where the path forward gets blurry; whether you're buried in hundreds of hours of footage, struggling to find the spine of your edit, or hitting a wall in post. You shouldn't have to figure it out in isolation.
Mentor My Film was created to give independent directors and emerging storytellers a reliable partner in the edit room. Supported by a non-profit endowment, we connect you directly with veteran producers, directors, and editors who have spent decades bringing Emmy-winning films across the finish line.
Here is how we help you finish your film:
Subsidized Story Guidance & Feedback
Access master-level story editing, pitch reviews, and post-production feedback at a fraction of standard commercial rates, giving you high-level industry expertise without draining your budget.
Fiscal Agent Services
Apply for foundation grants and accept tax-deductible donor contributions under our non-profit umbrella, giving your project the financial credibility it needs to secure funding.
Institutional Masterclasses & Workshops
Bring practical, field-tested documentary curriculums directly to college and university media departments, bridging the gap between film school theory and real-world production.
