Description

Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM How to successfully pitch your project to non linear networks? It's a combination of materials, skills, chutzpa and hours of prep. Also luck. But most importantly prep, which requires learning from someone who has been successful and even learning from their mistakes. This is why we invited our good friend, Ken Druckerman, one of the most successful producers we know, to share his tips, knowledge and warnings. What will he cover? - How to prepare for your pitch - How to pass the gate keepers/approach the platforms? - Pitch examples/Case study (from your oeuvre or others) - Does going to markets work? Which markets? - What networks are looking for and how are they choosing? - How has the current climate changed the process? This is an in person only master class and we will limit to 30 participants only. It will not be recorded, as per Ken's request. Get your tickets fast!
