A good pitch is the key to selling your movie. If you've never written a pitch, or you want to tighten up the pitch you already have, this is the class for you. Deepen your understanding of all the elements needed to make your pitch dynamic and engaging. We will work on making your pitch connect both on the page, and, more importantly, in the way you deliver it.
There will be a light physical warm-up at the beginning and at the halfway point in the class (nothing too strenuous). Students should come prepared with a laptop and/or notebook and pen.
