Hi all, My name is Rahim Shabazz and I’m reaching out because I have an animation pitch but no representation. I’m searching for an entertainment lawyer that can submit my animation pitch materials. Any suggestions?

Check out all of the available pitch sessions here on Stage 32. Some are with managers and agents who are better suited for submitting materials for producers.
Thank you both!
Bob Harper do you think that's the most likely way to get animated features into the right hands? Through a literary manager, agent, etc? Maybe its more efficient to start pitching managers rather than producers? hmmm

Trevor Gustafson I would approach it from all angles. A manager can help you get to production companies that you might not be able to reach, and help with packaging the project. We have projects that are going strait to buyers, some to producers and some to investors. It all depends on where you want it to end up and what you want out of it.

To second Bob Harper's advice, I would recommend a Pitch Deck Review by one of Stage 32's executives. This would allow you to get professional notes on what is working and what isn't from the executive of your choosing, BUT it will also allow someone active in the industry (producer, manager, agent, etc.) to get eyes on your material. That secondary benefit really is a great bonus! https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/coverage/buy?id=60
If you're not sure who you should go with, definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who is excellent at matching projects with potential executives (or managers, in your case): J.Mirch@stage32.com
Karen "Kay" Ross Thank you! I didn't realize Jason Mirch offered such a service. I will continue to explore and learn about the world of pitching!
There really doesn't seem to be much here specifically for animation... I don't even see animation as a genre to filter for the pitch sessions (see image):
Is this typical? Is it worth it to engage in non-animation specific pitches if the goal is animated content? So much to learn! lol
Thank you for your comments :D

Trevor Gustafson Occasional there will be folks looking for animated content in the sessions. I would suggest only pitching those folks animated content. Also, most of "Hollywood" usually considers very traditional animated content (i.e. four quadrant, family audiences etc.) If you are developing or producing non traditional content, It would be best to find production companies who have worked on out-of-the-box content, even those live action companies that tread into animation with some of their live action content, to pitch.
