Have you ever wondered what it was like to pitch a project? Have you left a «pitching workshop» feeling the advice was too overwhelming? Then, this webinar may be for you. Part 1 webinar will break down the process of pitching into the following areas…Are their different types of pitches? How to pitch different levels of executives by focusing on what YOU bring to the project.

What is the real goal of a pitch? You might think it is to sell a particular project. It is not that at all — it is to create a new relationship that may lead to future work and further meetings.
Do I pitch differently as a writer and as an independent producer? Definitely! This webinar will explain some of the differences — as well as give advice on the initial steps to set yourself up as an indie producer. Includes a homework assignment to create your own pitch! In the part 2 session, you’ll practice those pitches.
