Pitch Alexandria T.

Alexandria is a strategic, forward-thinking producer with over a decade of experience in the film and television industry. Currently, she’s developing and producing several features and TV shows -- including “Mel in Brooklyn” at Amazon with writer/showrunner Tamara P. Carter, and Junji Ito’s “Mystery of the Haunted House” with Fangoria and Flying Lotus directing.

Previously, she was the SVP of Features at Monkeypaw Productions, the film and TV production company owned by genre auteur Jordan Peele. At Monkeypaw, Alex prepped and developed feature films such as “US,” “Candyman,” as well as TV shows such as “Lovecraft Country." Before joining Monkeypaw, she was Director of Development at 20th Century Fox where she ran, developed, and packaged a slate of over 55 films, while also creating her own original ideas, and bringing in new material through her artist and agency contacts. She put together high level projects such as “The Mirage Man” (Steve Zaillian) as well as developed many left of center/genre films such as “Fear Street,” “The New Mutants,” and “Man Alive,” just to name a few.

Before joining 20th Century Fox, she co-ran development at Alcon Entertainment. After assisting four executives for over two years, she was quickly promoted. It was at Alcon that she cut her creative teeth, discovering and championing up and coming directors such as Denis Villeneuve, Baran Bo Odar, and Victoria Mahoney. She had found her passion; discovering and nurturing up and coming provocateurs who have a specific, fresh, visual language and POV - the disruptors. During her time at Alcon, she developed projects with writers and directors, brought in source material, and helped acquire movies from film festivals. She developed “Prisoners” and “Blade Runner 2049” with Denis Villeneuve. She optioned and developed the psychological thriller, "The Ice Twins" (Isaac Adamson adapting), and she optioned and developed such films such as “Super Human” (Donegan and Kerr) and “Zero Footprint,” (Charles Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides) just to name a few.

Prior to Alcon Entertainment, Alex interned in the mailroom at Verve, under the leadership of partner Bill Weinstein. Verve is where she got her “graduate” degree in the film industry. Before working at Verve, she interned under Nathan Kahane at Mandate Pictures (Lionsgate). Because of her expansive cinematic knowledge and passion for filmmaking, she quickly became a standout, prompting Nicole Brown and Aaron Ensweiler to become her mentors. Before joining Mandate, Alex interned and worked at MUSE Pictures, the high-end auteur driven production company ran by husband-wife producer team Roberta and Chris Hanley. Alex began her film career working on set in Ann Arbor Michigan, the day she graduated from film school. Due to the newly minted Michigan tax incentives at the time, she decided to stay in Ann Arbor an extra year to gain as much on-set experience as possible. In Ann Arbor, she worked on five films, “Answer This,” “Cedar Rapids,” “Scream Four,” “LOL,” and “Naked Angel,” in various production roles. Alex majored in Screen Arts and Cultures and Screenwriting at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Alexandria is interested in left of center artists, genre writers/directors, and artists who are doing things outside of the box. She enjoys genre mashups and stories that are weird and provocative.

Alexandria is available to provide consults in the French language.

Alexandria is open to Film and Television in the Comedy, Horror/Thriller, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Action, and Historical/True Story/Biopic space.

Please no Drama, Faith, Animation, or Unscripted/Reality/Game Show.

Tips on pitching to Alexandria T.

Guidelines

  • You may only pitch ONE project per reservation. Execs are looking for projects they can develop, NOT portfolios.
  • You should have a completed script available upon request for the project you pitch.
  • Do not reach out to the executives unless directed by Stage 32. They do NOT accept unsolicited material or appreciate being cold-called/emailed by strangers.
  • Missed reservations are not refundable and will not be rescheduled.

Live Pitches

Within 15 minutes of your scheduled pitch, the exec will reach out by Skype or Phone. Your pitch session will last approximately 8 minutes.

Written Pitches

Written Pitches will be no more than 2 pages submitted as a PDF or WORD document. Any written pitch uploaded past the deadline will not be shown to the executive and will result in a non-refundable forfeiture of your pitch.

Scorecards

Within 3-4 weeks of your pitch session, you will receive a Pitch Scorecard on which the exec you pitched will provide pitch feedback and note if they are PASSing, or would like to REQUEST your material.

If you are requested, you will be notified via email with further instructions. The execs will have 2-3 months to review your material and note if they are PASSing, or would like a MEETING. If a meeting is requested, we will introduce you via email.


Please understand that these are working executives, and their schedules are subject to change at a moment's notice. We always strive to give you at least 24 hours of notice if a session has been cancelled, and we will recommend another executive for you to pitch your material to.

What Are Stage 32 Pitch Sessions?

You've written your feature screenplay or TV pilot and you believe it is ready for the market. But, how do you know if your script or pitch are in the best shape to take your project - or your career - to the next level?

Whether you're preparing to find (or switch) representation, or go out with a script to production companies, studios or buyers, Stage 32 Pitch Sessions are a great first step to make sure you are on the right track.

For nearly a decade Stage 32 has maintained professional relationships with over 1,000 industry professionals including development executives, managers and producers across the industry. These executives work with us to listen to your pitch and provide feedback for you, all while finding undiscovered scripts they wouldn't normally have access to. With executives helping you understand what works and doesn't work with your material you can continue to hone your script and pitch as you prepare to go to market.

Through feedback given during Stage 32 Pitch Sessions, hundreds of writers have had success in their careers. Stage 32 writers have moved on to be signed, optioned, produced (including the 2020 film CHICK FIGHT), or put into development with industry professionals. In fact, in the last year alone, there were over 2,000 script requests and 500 meetings set up with industry professionals for writers through Stage 32.

How Does a Pitch via Skype or Phone Work?

Part of having a great script means that you have to be prepared to pitch it in a room or through a video pitch. It's important that you know the nuts and bolts of your pitch in order to give yourself the best chance for success when pitching it. We're here to help you.

In our Skype or Phone pitches, you have the option to pitch face-to-face directly with the executive through Skype or via telephone. Your pitch will be 8 minutes in total. It is up to you on how you want to use your time, but we recommend you spend 5-6 minutes to pitch your project, followed by 2-3 minutes of questions or feedback from the person to whom you are pitching.

This is a great way to work out pitching your material while establishing a new connection in the industry! You will be able to interact with the executive of your choice who specializes in the genre and format of your project. Would you like tips on how to pitch live?

How Does a Written Pitch Work?

Don't feel comfortable pitching live yet? Not a problem! Alternatively, you can submit a written pitch of up to 2-pages in length. This option is perfect for those writers who feel more comfortable expressing their ideas on the page rather than in person. It also allows for flexibility if you are unable to pitch live during a scheduled session.

5 Tips To Make Your Pitch Successful

Remember that executives who are hearing your pitch are supportive and want to give you the tools to succeed! There are ways in which you can help make that happen. Here are some tips to help you during your pitch.

  1. Talk briefly about yourself and your connection to the material.
  2. Give the title, logeline, genre(s), and comparable film or television tiles.
  3. Set up the world in which your story takes place in and then the protagonist. Then dive into the story pitch.
  4. Less is more! Make sure that your pitch is clear, concise, focused, and engaging. Do not try to pack too much into your initial 5-6 minutes and be sure to leave time for questions and answers.
  5. Be polite and receptive - remember the person on the other end does this for a living and their feedback is invaluable for you to understand where you fare in the marketplace.

Do not ask the executive if they want to read your script during the pitch. Do not reach out to an executive outside of the Stage 32 platform. Doing so will have the opposite of the intended effect. Stage 32 is a professional organization and if there is interest in your script, we will facilitate the request.

These are set up as industry-standard professional pitching sessions so we expect you to be fully prepared. If you have questions or need help, don't hesitate to contact the Stage 32 Script Services team at any time writerhelp@stage32.com. We're happy to help.
