First Act one page pitch for an Animated Series

Hi fellow writers I'm writing a one page pitch for an animated series I have the first season outline (key fights, character development, plot twist, character deaths) But how are you suppose to condense the first act into one page? Should the beats be intro the main characters, first fights, plot twist, then season ending? Just need a little guidance anything would help

Jean Buschmann

Hi Jarrett, I would intro. the main characters briefly, along with their internal conflicts &/or contradictory character traits, and describe the overall plot, while primarily focusing on how it relates to your protagonist and antagonist (or the opposition to your protagonist's goal, since an antagonist can be a situation, not just a person). Then I'd end with your plot twist and season ending, which you've been building up to. Hope it helps!

Stephen Floyd

Focus on the protagonist, what they want and how/why they’re struggling to get it. The rest of the plot points should revolve around this.
