SUMMARY:The Art of the Pitch Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members Catherine Eaton (The Sounding)\, Deborah Goodwin (The Pastor)\, Jessica Sanders (After Innocence)\, and Kate Tsang (Marvelous and the Black Hole) lead this workshop on all things pitching. \nYou have a show idea\, or you’ve created a brilliant film script\, or you’re invited in to give your “take” as a director on a project that is already green-lit. Now what? How do you convince others your vision is the vision\, that they should trust you with their money\, or jump on board to create or collaborate or produce your story? How do you move from your imagination into the room successfully? Getting “in the room” is only half the battle. How you prepare and what you do when you’re there can make all the difference. \nThe panelists discuss different types of pitch meetings\, battle stories from actual pitching experiences and the path to those opportunities\, individual strategies on how to prepare for a pitch\, some tips for creating pitch materials\, that half-hour before you walk in the room\, what to do when you’re actually in the room\, and – anecdotally – how the pandemic impacted their experiences pitching. Watch and learn the art of the pitch! \n  \n  \n
