I watched the Netflix and Stage 32 webinar regarding pitching and pitch decks, but I left the webinar confused as to the layout of the pitch deck and how it should look. There are tons of pitch deck templates on the web, but most of them do not fit what was described in the webinar. Does anyone have a pitch deck template that fits what was said in the webinar? My script is ready and I need to create this deck asap. Thanks everyone

Ernest - I think the message is that each studio and streaming service has its own standard for a pitch deck. If you plan on pitching Netflix you should use the guidelines discussed by the individual who did the presentation. Part of success is speaking to people in a language that they understand. Screenwriting is all about getting the language write. And that language varies from studio to studio and from platform to platform. I plan on using the template laid down at the Netflix presentation. All the Best!

Hey, Ernest Serrano! When you sign up for a Pitch Session, Stage32 actually gives you a free Pitching Guidebook to utilize: https://www.stage32.com/sites/stage32.com/themes/two/pdfs/happy-writers/Stage_32_Pitching_Guidebook.pdf
Keep in mind that there are many different kinds of pitches, so I would suggest making a 2-page pitch document for your 10-15min pitches and a 7-30page pitch deck for your 30+min pitches.
And definitely check out Anna Henry's Pitch Document Webinar which comes with free downloads: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/How-to-Write-a-Professional-TV-Pitch-Do...
