Hyphenate Creative

Hyphenate Creative’s services are highly targeted to meet the specific needs of individuals and organizations engaged in all aspects of the entertainment industry, at every stage of creative and career development.

We work across the media spectrum from Film and Television to Theater and the Web. You may be brand new and need to ask basic questions, or a seasoned pro grappling with career trajectory issues such as selecting projects, assembling a creative or representative team, managing personalities, or simply trying to answer the question: “What next?”

While acting can be the greatest creative high, the life of an actor frequently feels solitary and powerless. That is why Hyphenate offers a range of services from work on basic craft to the business of acting and living life as an actor. We can help with things like:

Audition and monologue preparation.

One-on-one coaching, whether for a single audition or for an entire role on-set.

Figuring how to advance your career, whether that’s by developing a one-person show, producing a play, or creating a film, television or web project to showcase your talent.

Image and Marketing assistance such as assessing headshots, demo reels, mailers, resumes, or other PR materials and decisions.

Hyphenate specializes in careful and thorough analysis of your project at any stage in development (from concept through outline to final draft), helping you make your material as superb as it can possibly be. We can also help you with issues such as:

Refining pitch technique (or how not to blow it in the first five minutes).

Working through creative blocks.

Navigating a development process or a writers’ room.

Making sense of executives’ notes.

The work of a director lives at the heart of Hyphenate’s approach; the deeper and more varied the director’s skill set, the more clearly she or he achieves the vision. Let us help you with issues such as:

Analyzing a script.

Working through a re-write.

Working with actors.

Assembling a creative team.

Clearly communicating the vision.

We’ve been on both sides. So whether you are a producer, a creative executive or a talent representative, working in Film, Television, Theater or New Media, Hyphenate Creative can help you:

Work effectively with writers and other creative artists.

Learn how to find and/or evaluate material and content.

Refine pitch technique.

Apply traditionally “creative” techniques to improving leadership skills, managing personalities, or refining energy and communication styles.
