Are you a director or agency looking to pitch an idea? That’s where I come in.

With a knack for browsing all the right corners of the internet, I provide you with everything you need to create a pitch that WINS.

Being a filmmaker with a background in various fields such as marketing, editing, project managing and event activations, I understand the vital role that creative research plays in the conceptualisation phase of any motion project and over the years creative research has become a passion of mine.

I know that bringing all your ideas down to a clear, concise and impactful presentation, that will resonate with the client, can be tough. So that’s where I help out. After a briefing from you on your creative vision, format ideas and project structure, I go out and research, research, research!

Compiling elements such as mood boards, feeler films, art direction visuals, lighting and scene visual references, location and actor recommendations. I can also provide film references for camera movements, music and film energy. Anything that will help get your vision across to your client.

My research strength lies in African Aesthetic, raw human stories, action sports, travel and outdoor adventure briefs.

Most of my work has been for commercial TVC projects but i’m currently working on various long form documentary pitches and would love to work on more.

For bookings and enquiries pop me an email and let’s chat.

Daron Chatz - Film director, creative director & photographer “Carmen is just wonderful to work with and makes my projects easier and better. She understands what I want clearly and quickly and often brings exciting additional elements into the mix. She is excellent at grasping visual style and language and also has a great understanding of story structure and narrative. I would strongly recommend her to help you win your pitch.”

She is excellent at taking and interpreting a brief, works extremely efficiently, getting a huge amount done in a very short timeframe, and works very well under pressure. Carmen has been an invaluable addition to our team and I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting quality research done for any project you can think of.”
