Screenwriting : Pitch Deck by Andrea Zurlo

Hi Andrea Zurlo, I recommend you look at some of the great education here on Stage 32. We have a ton of resources to help you get your pitch in great shape:

Consider perspective and the impression you want to create. How can you communicate that to someone else quickly? You know what you did and what you want. Why should the person who is looking at your work want to do something?

Hi Andrea! Anna Henry is amazing for helping writers get their pitch decks together. She has a webinar that explains in detail and you can also meet with her in person to go over your work in person. Feel free to write me at success@stage32.com to get the links!

Lotta "you gotta make my film because of...", anyways, I'm graphic designer, affordable and expeditious, drop me a DM, we can talk more...

Dont do it alone. Have a team to collab (rep, director, actor, DP, designer...) before you spend time on spec pitch decks.

ScriptHop have pretty much written the bible on this. They are actual industry members. Check out their advisory board.

I suggest checking out Michelle Alexandria's webinar, Andrea Zurlo. "How To Put Together A Perfect Pitch Deck For Your Movie" (www.stage32.com/webinars/How-to-Put-Together-a-Perfect-Pitch-Deck-for-yo...). It's an incredible webinar, and I've worked with Michelle personally on pitch decks. She REALLY knows her pitch deck stuff.

Andrea Zurlo Learn how from a class and then have someone proof it for you. There are some aspects of it that seem simple but that's only in appearance. This is one thing you'll want to have someone double-check.

Thank you all for your pieces of advice. I have a graphic designer at home, at least there is one thing free of charge (apart from food :-)) I'll take a look at the links you shared. Heartfelt thanks!

Have great photos/images to immediatley connect story/tone/characters on a visual level.

This is general to pitch decks. Not specific to film. Most of the time your deck is being drafted on a desktop with a huge screen but when people get it, they are ALWAYS looking at it on their phone. So when you look at it, before you send it out, send it to yourself and open it on your phone.

Can you read it without pinching and zooming in? Keep the type large, keep the text short and don't go over 20 slides. People have like 3 minutes max to look at your deck.

You're welcome, Andrea Zurlo.

Great advice, M LaVoie. I do that. Check a pitch deck on my phone. It really helps to catch mistakes.

Andrea, checking out completed pitch decks is also a great way to learn what kind of style and vision you like and don't like. What things are you drawn to? What works and doesn't work in the decks? What do the ones you think are great have in common
