Crafting a Pitch that Sells

Hollywood always needs ideas, but good ideas are few and far between. The key to selling any story starts with a pitch. Pitching memorable stories is an art in and of itself.

As a writer and producer in the US and Europe, I've pitched several hundred stories over the last thirty years. As a screenwriting professor at the University of Southern California for nearly two decades, I also created and teach an international storytelling class.

The key to pitching is making your idea compelling but concise—capturing the essence of your story in a few minutes. Producers hear a dozen pitches a day. How will you make yours stand out?

The class is intended for people who want to learn the essential elements that create a winning pitch. In addition to listening to your pitch, I'll teach the components of a winning pitch. I'll guide you through the process to ensure all your pitches make executives sit up and take notice.
