*RECORDING* How to Create a Pitch Packet Seminar

This is a "RECORDING" of the live “3-hour Power Hour” version of the 6-week Pitch Packet Workshop that focuses on crafting, articulating, and formatting TV Series ideas into palatable, sellable pitch documents. Students will learn the basics of the foundational materials required to pitch your next great TV idea — from 1-sheets to broader pitch documents to visual pitch decks. 

In addition to the lecture, this workshop will include a SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER (a Writer/Exec who’s been on both sides of the pitching table — working as a development exec at Sony, then a multi-tiered production company with projects at Fox, Comedy Central, Netflix and more!). 

Workshop structure will be 2 hours of lecture + 1 hour of our special guest Q&A. Again, this is a recording of the Live class that happened on February 19th.

You will receive a PDF of the presentation, links to examples, and templates.

Student Learning Objectives

1. To utilize a knowledge of the TV writing Industry in developing ideas for viable original ideas.
2. To understand and appreciate the strength of a strong “logline” to sell your pitch.
3. To understand and appreciate a strong example of a “1-sheet” for an original series and to learn how to best convey your original idea by focusing on character POV and emotional stakes.
4. To understand the use of tonal references to pre-existing shows in a way best suited to “frame” the context of your idea’s TV genre.
5. To understand and appreciate the basics in pitch doc structure: Logline, premise, themes, character descriptions and episode springboards.
6. To understand and appreciate the need for answering the question, “Why now?” through various pitch materials.
