Filmmaking / Directing : Get your 5-minute pitch in top-notch shape for MIPCOM! by Sydney S

Get your 5-minute pitch in top-notch shape for MIPCOM!

Is your feature film or television series concept fully developed but hasn’t sold to the perfect company or network? Is your script polished and ready for production but not grabbing the attention of the right producer or executive?

While many writers and filmmakers believe that developing a project and writing scripts and series bibles is enough to get a project sold, the truth is preparing that work is only half the battle. In today’s rapidly changing film market, the gatekeepers and decision makers with the power to greenlight your project rarely have the time to read your script or go through a series bible until they are already interested to a certain degree. Your 5-minute pitch is what will grab their attention and get your project on the fast track to production.

Interesting post. My challenge is finding producers and executive directors who would have interest in my genre of screenplays.

I take it we're all supposed to know what MIPCOM is.

Sydney S

Hey, Michael! Sorry I took so long to get back to you, my apologies. Hope you're having a great day!Truly a wonderful question — I’m happy to help explain more about MIPCOM.

MIPCOM is one of the world’s largest and most important global markets for entertainment content. It takes place every October in Cannes, France, and brings together content creators, producers, distributors, and buyers from across the globe.

It’s where deals are made for TV shows, films, and digital content to be sold, licensed, or co-produced internationally. If you're looking to expand your project's reach, meet decision-makers, or explore distribution opportunities, MIPCOM is a major place to do it.

Let me know if you’d like more info or tips on how to make the most of it — I’m on the Stage 32 Education team (available via email at edu@stage32.com ) and happy to help anytime!
