Who should attend:

Writers,

producers, agents and managers,

directors, actors,

editors, creative types, or ANYONE who

wants to know about pitching for television!

There are over 500 scripted programs

being made for broadcast, cable, and digital formats.  The

opportunities to get your idea for a series made seem endless, but it’s also a

double-edged sword.

To stand out and be recognized in

such a crowded market place, you need more than a great

idea; you need a foolproof pitch to bring your series clearly and

vividly to life for any producer, network, or studio executive who hears

it.

This workshop will get down to the

brass tacks of how to pitch your series idea like a seasoned

pro. It’s a little bit art, a little bit science, and definitely a

skill anyone can learn given the right tools.

Ideas this workshop will cover

include:

*  Loglines

– their importance and how to write one

*  What buyers are looking

for in a pitch

*  Character vs. story beats

– which are more important?

*  Structuring your pitch

for maximum affect

*  What to say – and not say

– in a meeting

*  What happens to your

pitch after you leave the room

By the end of this workshop, you’ll

know:

*

 The key elements to successfully translating your idea into an attention-getting

pitch

*  How to sell yourself as

well as your idea

*  How to talk about your

pitch in terms of the pilot and beyond

PLUS – this will be a great

networking event to meet other industry professionals!
