About Rapp Consulting
Before we embark on this journey together, discover the story behind how it all began.
Every idea starts with intention. Mine started with a love of storytelling and a belief that creative work should have a real chance to survive and matter.
I have learned that turning a vision into reality takes more than talent. It takes clarity when everything feels uncertain, resilience when it would be easier to quit, and the right people around you who understand the stakes.
This work is personal because I have been through it myself. I know what it costs to fight for something you believe in. I know what it feels like to stand by it without apology or compromise.
My Expertise
Success in both creative ventures and entrepreneurial pursuits requires more than just a great idea. It demands strategy, structure, and meaningful connections.
My expertise lies in bridging these worlds. With a background in production and financial strategy, I help filmmakers and entrepreneurs build projects that are both creatively compelling and commercially viable. By combining operational precision with creative insight, I work to ensure that bold ideas are supported by clear plans, thoughtful budgeting, and smart resource allocation.
I believe the best outcomes happen when creativity is empowered, not restricted. My role is to provide the structure that allows ideas to thrive without compromise.
Background & Experience
My journey began in the world of filmmaking immersed in the unpredictable rhythm of production. Early on, I learned how to navigate the chaos of film sets, manage teams, and bring creative ideas to life under pressure.​
But as I gained experience, I realized that true success didn’t come from reacting to problems — it came from anticipating them. I found myself drawn to the strategic side of storytelling — the planning, budgeting, and creative positioning that shape a project’s success long before cameras roll.
This shift led me to explore financial strategy and resource management, where I discovered my ability to connect creative ideas with practical solutions. Over time, I learned how to build projects that not only told powerful stories but also attracted investment, talent, and distribution.
With over a decade of experience as a Film & TV Producer and Director of Operations, I’ve worked across major platforms such as Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, NBC, ABC, CBS, TNT, STARZ, Cinemax, and HBO, as well as acclaimed independent studios like A24, FilmNation, and the Motion Picture Institute.
I’ve produced projects ranging from the award-winning short film Fortress to the critically acclaimed feature Literally, Right Before Aaron. Each experience reinforced my belief that great ideas don’t have to struggle, they just need the right foundation to thrive.
Today, I use that experience to help filmmakers and entrepreneurs build stronger projects combining creative ambition with clear financial strategy, smart resource allocation, and meaningful industry connections.

THE RAPP // VANTAGE WAS BORN
The RAPP // VANTAGE is more than just a method. It is a mindset.
It wasn’t created in a boardroom. It was built on the floor of production offices, during 4AM call times, in budget meetings that went sideways, and on sets where everything that could go wrong usually did. After a decade in the industry and more than 35+ globally recognized projects, I didn’t just learn how to make things work: I learned how to keep them from falling apart.
What I offer now is the clarity I wish more people had access to when they start. This is about helping serious creators navigate the gap between a great idea and a fundable, buildable, real-world venture.
I don’t offer theory. I offer what I’ve lived. And I built this to help you build something that lasts.
Support
I work with filmmakers, producers, and creative entrepreneurs who are serious about moving from idea to execution. Whether you’re launching your first feature or scaling a venture, I provide the structure, resources, and capital access to turn ambition into real results.
Approach
My process is rooted in strategic development — combining creative insight with financial architecture. I refine concepts, structure budgets, and position projects to attract capital, talent, and distribution. Every project is built to perform where it matters.
Working with me means gaining access to private equity, strategic insight, and the relationships that move projects forward. I help you secure financing, package with key talent, and align with distribution — giving your project the foundation it needs to succeed.
