Learn How to Pitch Your Screenplay – You Don’t Have to Go Through This Process Alone!
Pitching a script can be a lonely process, but you don’t have to go it alone! Most new screenwriters have no idea how the pitch process works (they don’t teach this stuff in school), and the landscape is constantly changing. Today is a particularly difficult time within the industry to pitch a script, as if there was ever an easy time – there was not. Whether you have a horror film, rom-com, action, thriller, sci-fi, drama, dramedy, comedy, true-crime, fantasy, mystery, reality-TV series, stuff-people-watch-in-their-basement, or any other new and wonderful genre, we can get it pitch-ready for those who may actually buy it. So many people send scripts off to people who are not even legally allowed to view your pitch materials. That’s right, most studios, agents, producers, etc. will not view “unsolicited scripts.” This is arguably the point in the process where you need to be most creative. There is more than one way to usher your script out into the marketplace, and each writer (if persistent) will find their own path. Most script services help writers to develop a screenplay and then help the screenwriter to figure out how to sell it or produce it. That’s not what I do. I actually provide services to coach screenwriters on how to develop their pitch materials and how to get those materials to agents, producers, and studio execs to be seen. Writing the script is the EASY part! Pitching the script is the gut-wrenching, pride swallowing, frustrating, makes-you-want-to-pull-out-any-hair-you-may-have-left part. But, we can discuss your goals for your script, develop a pitch plan, and walk you through the process step by step. No one should have to suffer this process alone!
