Happy 2026 all!
Hope this is the right place to write this.
I pitched in 2025 - twice. Pitch was liked by both. One of the lovely producers has the TV pilot script. Both recommended different comps to be added to those I had added. The issue I face is that I have not found anything similar. One comp listed simply because it is also one of the locations of my TV pilot. What to do as I need comps (obviously) before pitching again.
The second query is...so the TV pilot is based on a true story. Both lovely producers requested this information (specifics of it, which are mentioned in the pitch) to be listed much earlier on the Pitch. Where can this be listed right at the beginning of a Stage 32 pitch? It has been mentioned that you state your connection to the script and story. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Sacha Douglas. Happy 2026! I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Acting Lounge to the Screenwriting Lounge since it's about pitching. Let me know if you have any questions.
Congratulations on the producers liking your pitch! I suggest keep looking for comps. Did you check IMDb?
I mention the comps near the start of a written pitch after the opening hook, logline, type (feature or series), genres, and budget.

Thanks very much Maurice. Yes both did, and one has the script too. Thanks. Happy 2026! Who would have thought a writer and filmmaker would struggle finding any comps.

You're welcome, Sacha Douglas. I've struggled to find comps for my projects. I kept looking and eventually found them. Hope you find some!
