In
2004, Bill stepped away from commercial entertainment to open his own
editing service to devote more time to documentaries and
humanitarian projects. He has established himself as the go-to trailer expert
among documentary and independent film producers. He is often asked
to speak and critique trailers in seminars hosted by Carole Dean and
other high-profile members in the documentary community. His
regularly scheduled “Trailer Clinics” help give filmmakers the tips
and tools to improve their fundraising trailers. He has also written
articles on the subject for documentary publications.
