Creative development and technical execution for filmmakers, artists, and brands.
I work with filmmakers, artists, writers, brands, institutions, and creative teams from all corners to shape the language, structure, references, and visual materials around a project.
Some projects come in as an idea. Some come in as a script, a pile of references, a rough cut, a deck, a trove of found footage, or a problem that has not quite found its shape. Quartermaster helps bring the pieces into focus.
The Spectrum of Creation
Research, image, story, and instinct brought into focus.
[01]
Source Material
Research, archives, and cultural context for projects that need a deeper foundation: footage searches, reference libraries, visual research, and historical grounding.
[02]
Storytelling
Stories in progress: original writing, screenplay development, adaptations, editorial work, and narrative collaboration.
[03]
Visual Direction
The look and language of a project: art direction, decks, typography, image references, and visual treatments.
[04]
Play
Room for experiment inside the process: testing ideas, trying versions, following accidents, and letting the work surprise itself.
[05]
Production + Post
Roadmaps
Creative producing for the practical stretch: production plans, post pathways, timelines, delivery, and getting the work finished.
[06]
Building the House
The structure around the work: collaborators, documents, workflows, communication, and the pieces that keep a complicated project standing.
The Alchemy of
Collaboration
Quartermaster is not a menu. It is a studio practice and a way of thinking.
People come to Kelli for the conversation, the research, the taste, the eye, and the ability to find the strange little charge inside an idea before shaping it into a world with language, texture, rhythm, and form.
