Screen Queensland, in partnership with Screenworks, is bringing director and producer Mandy Lake back to Far North Queensland.
In this fun, highly interactive one-day workshop, Mandy will guide filmmakers into the glorious art of pitching, where they will learn how to sell their stories, projects and themselves.
Mandy will cover everything from personal and professional branding, marketing principles, finding hooks and emotional “button-pushers,” developing written pitch materials and teasers, mastering the physical pitch, to creating connections and networking tactics. Mandy will also delve into the intricacies of finding potential funding sources, marketplaces and industry contacts to pitch to.
The day will be rounded off with the chance to put your new skills into practice during a speed-dating pitching session, followed by optional networking drinks.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their pre-existing pitch materials into the workshop for feedback.
This is a terrific opportunity to prepare for Screen Queensland’s In The Frame event in April, Screen Forever in May, and Screenworks’ Regional to Global in June, so be sure to register now. You’ll be all the pitcher for it (apologies for the pun)!
As part of the registration process, you will also have the opportunity to apply for a 15-minute one-on-one session with Mandy for four selected participants to refine their pitch in the weeks following the workshop.
Get Your Pitch On workshop is delivered as part of our North Queensland Regional Program.
