Screenwriting : To pitch or not to pitch my unsolicited screenplay by Roberta Wilson

That means in order to get a pitch meeting with an "executive", you'll have to tap your own network on Linked in or pay one of the many on this site who will hear your pitch for money. If the latter option sounds weird, it's because it is.

Pitch!

Thank you. I will set up pitch meetings here.

Hey, Roberta Wilson. It's difficult to get pass the unsolicited policy sometimes, but one way to do it is by building relationships/networking. There are over 1 million members on Stage 32. You can build those relationships through:

Lounges (www.stage32.com/lounge)

Direct messages

Browse Section (www.stage32.com/browse)

Script Services (www.stage32.com/scriptservices)

The Writers' Room (www.stage32.com/writers-room)

Further to Maurice’s comment, you can find executives accepting pitches on Stage 32 via the pitch sessions page. You can see which executives are accepting written and verbal pitches and book yourself into a session.

@Roberta What Ewan says above is great advice. RB built a site so that talent can bypass gatekeepers. Pitch, pitch, pitch!

If someone accepts unsolicited materials then pitch to them....otherwise it's crickets...

&All Another way to pitch without an agent is screen festivals. Now it’s more on line since covid but back in the day there were different types of “live” pitches at London Screenwriters Festival, both a free join queue on the day or bookable in advance. I’m also looking forward to re emergence of fun elevator pitches, literally jumping into the lift with an exec & if they weren’t bored by time it reached top floor they read whole script.

Define pitching 'cause it is a confusing mission statement on this platform.
