I help Indie Filmmakers confidently and strategically navigate through the business of film by taking the guess work out of the process so you can focus on the creative vision and make your film a reality in a fraction of the time. I share proven tools, married with inspiration, motivation and personal stories.
When I started this process over 20 years ago, I hadn't gone to film school and over the years I've learned how to pitch complete strangers, rally communities in support, and most importantly make films that look much higher quality than their budgets.
Each of our films has been valued at 2- 3x the actual cost, all have had Award Winning Talent and all secured International Distribution.
I'd love to join you on your filmmaking journey & help bring your vision to life!

"Amazing. My brain is still buzzing. Really helps us see some (Marketing/Distribution) possibilities we hadn't thought of...plus feel we're on the right track with others. Sara, thank you so much. You're a treasure. "
"Sara Elizabeth Timmins workshops, masterminds and the collaborative community she’s created are incredible! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Sara Elizabeth is candid, supportive, a wealth of practical information and she goes above and beyond to clarify and explain issues. Her mentorship and advice are inspirational and her enthusiasm is contagious. Sara’s classes have given me the confidence and clear understanding of what’s possible to produce high production, quality projects within reasonable budgets and lifted the veil for me in areas that I didn’t understand. "
"These classes have taught me the complexities of producing independent films and there were so many great ideas that I personally had never thought of. Sara Elizabeth has been a vitally integral part of my education in the entertainment/film business and her tutelage helps me avoid so many mistakes and pitfalls that I could easily fall into. 5 classes and COUNTING. Thank you Ms. Timmins. "
"Sara Elizabeth's commitment to supporting the film community is unparalleled and her classes highlighted major gaps in my knowledge which I was able to rectify to move forwards in my projects. My pitching (both written materials and verbal) have improved significantly and I can approach potential partners with renewed confidence."
