When we talk about 'pitching', what we're really talking about is the art of STORY. We like to look for 'cheat codes' in selling projects. While there is no cheat-code for pitching a show/movie, there are methods, and lines-of-questioning that Writers use to make their stories STRONGER.

Join Patrick Harpin as he shares the secrets of pitching as someone who has sold shows as pitch decks and supervised them as Showrunner. This is not a lesson in how to ‘trick’ a studio into buying a half-baked idea. What this really is, is a presentation on "How to Write a Story WORTH pitching". So when you're finally ready to pitch your idea... it'll be taken seriously.

This presentation was recorded live at LightBox Expo 2024 in Pasadena, CA.
