Cool, Billy Kwack. Was Rachel's interview helpful?

Hi Maurice, I didn't see the video, is it free?

Thank you for sharing this, Maurice! This is a great interview!

It's an article type of interview, Billy Kwack. The link is in the post.

You're welcome, Samuel Tracton. How are you doing?

Hi Maurice, oh okay, I'll give it a read next time

"Great interview" is RIGHT! Thanks for posting this, Maurice!

I am looking forward to my Pitch Session with Rtusha Kulkarni this month. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks Maurice Vaughan

Ok, Billy Kwack.

You're welcome, Jim Boston.

Hope the pitch goes great, Clora Miller. When you say suggestions, do you mean advice?

You're welcome, Abdur.

Thank you, Maurice. Yes advice.

Pitching tips, Clora Miller:

#1) For verbal pitch and written pitch: Make sure you know your story well enough to pitch it.

#2) For verbal pitch: Don't jump right into the pitch. Take a few seconds to introduce yourself and get to know the person you're pitching to/make small talk. Just a few seconds because sometimes your pitch can only be five minutes.

#3) For verbal pitch: Make sure you pause between sentences (very brief pauses so the person you're pitching to can think on what you've said). As writers, sometimes we want to tell and tell and tell without taking pauses (because we want to get everything in).

#4) For verbal pitch: If you feel overwhelmed, take some time to relax and breathe, then jump back into the pitch.

#5) For verbal pitch: Leave time at the end so the person you're pitching to can ask questions and give feedback.

#6) Research the person you're going to pitch to (the movies they made, the projects they're working on, etc.)

#7) Have two-three films (or shows) you can compare your project to
