Help as to how to Pitch a concept

Hey Guys!! I have a concept for a reality show that I would like to pitch and host. I already registered the synopsis, log line, episode break down (etc.) with the Writer's Guild, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how I would go about getting meetings to pitch my idea to production companies. Any guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much! Stay safe and fabulous!!

My buddy did a similar thing. You want to shoot a sizzle reel for it.

Jasmine Akakpo

Yeah that 's what I thought. Thanks Ray! Did your friend send out the sizzle reel to try to get meetings????

Ray Anthony Martinez

Yes ma'am!

Jasmine Akakpo

That makes sense. Thanks!!

Patrick Hampton

Sizzle it up. Try and keep it under 5 min. You want to give them a taste and wanting more.

Jasmine Akakpo

Most definitely! Thanks Patrick!

If you ever do scripted. Do a trailer. Here is an example YouTube.com/theriseofkings

There is also a meeting in LA in January where writers can meet with producers to pitch show ideas.

Jasmine Akakpo

Thanks Keith. I know that there are a lot of pitch summits in LA. I don't live in LA, but my uncle does and I was thinking about getting him to pitch my show for me. I recently finished my sizzle reel and I want to send it out to production companies. But I am trying to do research and send it to an address that doesn't just throw It I. The trash. Lol.
