The ability to pitch your project to potential investors and collaborators is an essential skill that all filmmakers should perfect. And it’s a skill that can be taught. Film Independent is pleased to welcome producer Charles Howard, creator of the Pitch Development Workshop. His seminar will explore the elements and tools needed to create and deliver a successful pitch. He will review the creation of a clear and concise logline as well as styles, structures and best practices for pitching your project. There will be time for practical exercises that build on the ideas presented.
