Yes I did my first last month and it was pretty useful, just have two things in mind that I was told and really helped: 1- have clear stakes, not abstract or simbolical, something that will literally destroy not only the status quo but the life of the main characters and 2- Make the producer feel the movie in their head, if they can read it and see the movie or series in their minds, like imagining scenarios and all of that, you've got it. I will try a second time soon, but for now that's what I learned from my last interaction, though I'm not sure yet if the producer or agent taking the pitch will actually do something with it, it's a good experience to enhace your creative intents with a story. Good luck!

Hi, Jerome Shaw. Stage 32 has two written pitch examples (one for a show and the other for a movie). Stage 32 also has a verbal TV pitch beat sheet and a verbal feature pitch beat sheet. You can get them by emailing success@stage32.com.
Here's three Lounge posts with pitch advice:

The Pitch Practice in the Writers’ Room 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. You can sign up for your first month free here: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip
The Pitch Tank in the Writers’ Room is an incredible pitching resource too. The Pitch Tank is where you pitch your script to an executive and get feedback. The Pitch Tank is once a month.
