Success Stories: OCT'19 All Treats No Tricks

Laurie Ashbourne

All Treats No Tricks

I love to pitch the way I love to fly, so much so, that when I don't do it for a while I hop on board for fun. (Plus it's good practice). So this past week I saw an intriguing opportunity with Unique Features for a Halloween based script I have and signed up for a 10pm pitch on Thursday. This project pitches well but I also love it, it's the only Halloween story that makes me cry EVERY time I read it, (but only for one page at the end the rest is a thrill). I also knew the time was right with GOOSEBUMPS releasing this weekend. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Thankfully GOOSEBUMPS is at #1 (it's actually a fun ride, but try as it may -- it doesn't make you cry). Look at this scorecard! Now that will give you goosebumps. Did I mention I love to pitch? Perfect example of why I only do it through Stage 32:

Preston Poulter

I love how they give us little report cards like grade school children.

Chris Connell

Cool!

Paul-Thomas Parnell

That's really great. Do you pitch others scripts or just your own?

Laurie Ashbourne

Hi Paul, I do work with others in honing their pitches and if I'm producing on projects I haven't written, I pitch those as well. My education is in advertising and journalism which equates to a knack for finding a good story and packaging it to sell.

That's so awesome!

Dawson Howard
