Stage 32 provides unparalleled access to thousands of industry executives looking for
their next successful project. But since their time is limited, Stage 32 also limits the length of written pitches to two pages. If you are pitching a feature film, how can you possibly capture its scope, complexity and nuances in such a short format? How can you hook the reader so they will want to read the script, request the full deck or speak further about collaborating? What should be included and how much space should you spend on each section? What will really hook the reader? How much story or character info should I share? What is the single most commonly omitted item? How can you sell the reader on the uniqueness of your concept and showcase your skills as a writer?
Producer, Stage 32 Educator, Sara Elizabeth will give you easy-to-follow guidelines on what to include in your written pitch, one item that will make or break your pitch, the most common pitfalls to avoid and how to position your project to have the best chance of catching the attention of an executive. This webinar will help you step back as writer/producer and look at your pitch with new eyes….the eye of the reader and will even highlight elements you probably didn’t think needed to be included. Too many writers don’t know how to effectively sell their ideas in a short format, so they resort to writing “marketing copy” instead or ramble on about the wrong elements. Before you hit submit on your next pitch, learn how the pros make their creative ideas sell themselves!

Very helpful and practical Sara Elizabeth Timmins - Your structure and guidance really helps shape our pitch as not just a reflection of our feature but also of ourselves. Something I probably don't think enough about. Thanks!
