Film as Work
FilmGeist works with film as a work.
A film does not become a work by declaration.
A work emerges when form, time, thought and experience enter a necessary relation.
Beyond Dramaturgy
Dramaturgy creates film
through causal construction.
Work-formation organizes material
through composition and inner necessity.
This is where FilmGeist operates.
Work Consulting
FilmGeist offers work-based consulting for film projects grounded in film as work.
Consulting may accompany:
concept development
script development
production
editing
The focus is the emergence of the film as a work.
