Pitching Your Screenplay
"Highly recommended! [Melody] is obviously extremely competent, gives excellent critique, is very supportive, very detailed. I think she bends over backwards."
Creative Screenwriting Magazine, 2003
One of the hardest things you'll ever face as a screenwriter is how to take a 110-page script that you spent anywhere from a couple of months to over a decade on only to have to reduce it to a mere few sentences.
Not only do you have to tell the story well, but you have to figure out which things to leave out even though you feel that the essence of the story gets lost as you drop out details. There's no question about it, it's a challenge.
In these pitch coaching sessions, Melody Jackson will work directly with you to coach you in developing and delivering a pitch for your script that will make executives want to read it. You will find these sessions are also helpful for preparing for meetings with execs so that you know basic protocol, what to wear, stuff like that!
You can also get guidance on what to expect in meetings and tips on the kinds of deals that are made.
