About

Have an idea for a movie, documentary, or television series, but have no idea how to pitch it to an investor, on-screen talent, production company or network?

In this two-day class, you will learn how to put together an effective presentation of your concept called a “pitch deck.” You will use still photos and information that could catch the eye of someone who can help you get the project made.

We will learn what makes a good deck (with examples), where to find the elements you need to build a good deck, and what software (free and paid) you need to create your masterpiece.

*This is not a ‘pitch the producer’ session. This class will simply give you a leg up on the competition by putting together an eye-catching visual document to present your concept.

Supplies Needed:
