I’m P.J. Palmer, an award-winning filmmaker and the creator of The Compass Sessions. I’ve spent over a decade working one-on-one with writers, filmmakers, and students offering script consultations, pitch deck strategy, and project mentorships designed to bring clarity, structure, and emotional truth to their work.
I’ve had the privilege of mentoring emerging artists and Harvard MFA candidates, as well as collaborating with network showrunners, established film and TV directors, and even celebrity clients developing their own stories.
Whether you’re shaping a short film, writing a feature, building a pitch, or facing a creative crossroads, I’m here to help you return to the question that matters most:
What’s your why - and how do you build from there?
