You have a great idea for a TV show, but how do you sell it? Join us as writer Rafael Agustín (JANE THE VIRGIN) guides us on how to successfully pitch a series that captures the attention of production companies, studios executives, and network buyers.

After our conversation, we’ll put strategies into practice by inviting several members of the audience to join us by pitching the opening of their soon-to-be pitch pages.
