The advice and help filmmakers have received in their time with Carole is heart-felt, productive, and transformative.

“Carole was absolutely amazing. She went through my grant with me and gave me very specific and helpful notes. She also helped me find other resources that would help me with my project. I knew that when she spoke with me she really cared about giving me advice that was kind, clear, and helpful. It meant so much because this is my first time applying for grants and it can seem so daunting, but she made me feel a lot more comfortable!.”


“Carole spent time deeply understanding my work and project, and took the time to offer resources and advice on how to proceed with my film project. She sent over invaluable resources, and simply encouraged and believed in the importance of the film, which as a creator is the fuel needed to bring something to life.”


“The call with Carole was amazing! She was very informative and provided me with with so much useful information. I learned so much more about fundraising in those twenty minutes than I did reading a few articles. I feel inspired to launch my first crowdfunding campaign and confidant From The Heart Productions will help me through it.”
