Create Your Pitch Deck As They Do In Hollywood
PAST EVENT: October 19, 2021 - 5:30 pm PT / 7:30 pm CT / 8:30 pm ET
Whether you’re pitching a screenplay to a producer or a feature project to investors, pitch decks have become mission-critical. But what exactly should go in your deck? What’s the balance of words and images? How do you build your deck for maximum impact while making sure you convey your vision for the film?
In this webinar, pitch consultant Laura Brennan will cover all that and more, including loglines, small talk, and strategies for following up. Laura has helped hundreds of writers, directors, and producers pitch their projects, develop their slates, and raise funds for their films. The 45-minute webinar will be followed by a Q&A so that your individual questions can be answered.
