Lights, camera—wait, first you gotta pitch!
Whether you’re a first-time creator or a seasoned writer looking to sharpen your skills, this jam-packed, two-day workshop is for anyone ready to take their project to the next level and pitch it with confidence.
You’ll learn the secrets of a killer verbal pitch—what to say, how to say it, and how to keep your audience (and that exec!) hanging on every word. We’ll break down real- world pitches that worked, give you tried-and-true templates (like the legendary WB verbal pitch outline), and walk you through exactly what makes a pitch pop.
Then it’s your turn: You’ll draft, workshop, revise, and perform your own pitch in a fun, supportive environment. You’ll get thoughtful, actionable feedback from your instructor and peers—and learn what to expect when pitching network executives, producers, agents, and distributors.
By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a confident, compelling, and polished pitch— and the tools to bring your project out into the world like a pro.
