I have a lot of interest in my unscripted series. I know this site is for writers but I wish more of the pitching opportunities were for unscripted. My show is so easy to make and produces incredible and mind boggling results. I'm getting great scores on my pitches and I keep working at making it even better based on the evaluations. They are very helpful. I keep telling myself that it only takes one person to want to do my show to make it a reality. I will never stop trying and I am so grateful for the opportunities at Stage 32.

Congratulations on getting a lot of interest in your unscripted series and great scores, Terri Jay!
You're right. It only takes one person. I keep that in mind when I'm pitching.
Do you have a sizzle reel and pitch deck for your series? I've been told those are the key things when pitching an unscripted series, especially the sizzle reel.

Yes. I have a PDF Pitch deck and a video pitch.

That's exactly right Terri Jay! All it takes is one YES. I've lived by that motto myself for as long as I've been in this industry!

Nick Phillips, it's what keeps me going. I had a yes, we'll send you a contract and then delays. So I starting pitching again.

Great, Terri Jay. Do you mean a video where you're pitching your series? That can be helpful too, but I meant a sizzle reel with footage of what your series will look like. You could use stock footage or footage from other unscripted series for the sizzle reel. Or you could hire someone to make a sizzle reel.

Maurice Vaughn, I have both. I have tons of videos and podcasts on my website too. Lots of demonstrations of me doing readings of all types.
