Master Classes are in-depth, interactive learning experiences focused on craft and career building and led by renowned industry experts. Topics include fiction and documentary filmmaking, TV writing and production, and navigating and succeeding in the entertainment industry.
Pitching is the essential process where screenwriters, directors, and producers communicate an idea or a project to the hands that can make it happen. Just like any other industry skill, it is a craft that requires research, practice, and time. In this session, you will learn what industry pros in the film and TV fields expect to see and hear in a pitch. During the event, Jose Acevedo, head of development of Phoebe Robinson's company Tiny Reparations, and established producer Giulia Caruso (COLUMBUS) detail how someone who is trying to sell a script or series should prepare as well as pitfalls to avoid for a pitch meeting.
Topics presented will include:
- How to structure your pitch presentation
- Which elements to include in your pitch
- The best and worst times of the development cycle for pitching
- Preparing yourself up for success before, during, and after a pitch meeting
