Screenwriting : Good afternoon friends & colleagues, by Ray El

Ray El

Good afternoon friends & colleagues,

I’m working on pitching my new supernatural horror project and would truly appreciate any advice, feedback, or connections you’re willing to offer. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please feel free to reach out.

Here’s a brief taste:

Genre: Supernatural Horror | Southern Gothic | Psychological Thriller

In the Deep South, something buried has begun to rise—vengeful, ancient, and bound to a legacy soaked in silence. As a string of brutal deaths unfolds, a brilliant woman with a mysterious gift is drawn into a storm of possession, ritual, and retribution. The deeper she digs, the more she risks becoming the very thing she’s trying to stop.

This isn’t just a ghost story.

It’s a reckoning long overdue.

Think Get Out meets The Witch—with roots in the haunted soil of the American South.

Sounds interesting, Ray El. "A brilliant woman with a mysterious gift is drawn into a storm of possession, ritual, and retribution. The deeper she digs, the more she risks becoming the very thing she’s trying to stop" makes your story stand out from other ghost stories.

Stage 32 has a free pitch webinar I suggest checking out (www.stage32.com/education/products/pitching-tips-from-the-pros-your-blue...).

I also suggest emailing writerhelp@stage32.com to get free written pitch examples.

And you're a Writers' Room member, so you might know about the Pitch Practices already, but Pitch Practice is the best pitching resource in my opinion. Pitch Practice is every Thursday night at 5:30 P.M. PST/8:30 P.M. EST. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sign up. The hosts, Noel Thompson and John Mezes, take names during Pitch Practice for people to pitch the following week. You have to sit in and listen at the practice one or two times before you can pitch.

And here are two Lounge posts with pitch advice:
