Pitch Mastery - Get Executives Excited For Your Script!!

"Bob’s pitching advice was brilliant - Netflix asked to read my pilot script!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Johanne McAndrew, Writer

Executives hear dozens -- sometimes hundreds -- of pitches every week. The pitches that succeed rely just as much on personality and style as they do on content. In a nutshell: It ain't only what you do. It's just as much the way that you do it. Yet many of us allow our fear of the process prevent us from pitching well.

And pitching in 2023 is a completely unprecedented challenge. Streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime have specific expectations. Pitching over Zoom has its own pitfalls. But if you know what you’re doing, it also provides a wealth of opportunities.

If you have taken pitching courses before -- or even pitched before -- here's the headline: You ain't seen nothin' yet. Time to relearn what you have learn.

But one truth remains the same: You MUST pitch -- and pitch WELL to get your script made. And this ALL NEW, ALL ORIGINAL course will give you the tools you need to impress all the right people. Students attending this innovative day will get the knowledge they need to pitch in the new post-pandemic world:

• PITCHING TO STREAMERS. By far, the most opportunities come from streaming services. Which means recognizing the needs of the streamers: A worldwide audience. Broad brand awareness. Specific acquisition strategies.
  
  
• PITCHING ONLINE. Executives still want to get to know you, but in-person meetings are getting more and more rare. How should you pitch on Zoom? How do you transition your relationship into the real world?
  
  
• PITCH DECKS. Not only are pitches changing, but so are the expectations on writers. Supplemental and follow-up materials are just as critical success as the pitch itself.
  
  
• USING AI TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. Living in the future can be a lot to manage. How can we use the new technology to relieve the burden and perfect our pitches?
  
  

In just one day (LIVE and IN PERSON or on video catch-up), you will get all the tools you need to make your pitchin' more bitchin'!

*All tickets include access to the recorded version for a full year.

WHEN: Sat 18 March 2023 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

WHERE: This event is hosted by the MetFim School at Ealing Film Studios, the Leading Film & TV School.

Bob is brilliant and so enthusiastic about showing us how the masters keep us watching. I don’t want my stories to be too on the nose, but it's not always easy to work out how to make them better. Bob's given us a toolbox of techniques we can apply to our own stories to increase depth and tension. Plus it's always just great to be surrounded by the other writers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
