Looking to develop your first pitch? Want to improve the pitch you already have?

Join Stage 32's Nick & Allen and learn what turns a pitch into a request or meeting!

===============================================================================================

We see a lot of projects pitched on Stage 32 each week and review the feedback execs give on all of them. We see the good, the bad, and everything in between. We see what gets read and what gets the dreaded pass. What lands on the top of the pile and what gets buried under everything else. And we see the questions about pitching that get asked week in and week out. So we at Stage 32 have decided to put our experience together in a FREE Webinar on Pitching through Stage 32!

On Monday, March 12th at 1PM Pacific, Stage 32 Writing Service's Allen James Roughton and Nick Assunto will take a deep dive into sharing what they’ve learned over hundreds of pitch sessions and thousands of pitches.

Have a question about pitching you've always wanted to ask us? Join us live and participate in the Q&A!

We'll cover everything that goes into both verbal and written pitches including:

  • Introducing yourself and your relationship to the story.
  • Giving the specs on your project.
  • Constructing a logline that sells your story.
  • Explaining a unique setting, world or rules.
  • Introducing your characters.
  • Telling your story.
  • Outlining your TV series
  • Pitching tips and tricks.

Sounds like great information. However! ...I am in Australia and trying to work out the time conversion. When you say 'Pacific', do you mean 'Pacific Daylight Saving Time - Los Angeles' ? Thank you for putting this Webinar together for us.
