Pitching for audiovisual creators

We find increasingly more competition in the current situation of the national and international market when seeking to convey and sell our projects. Having good ideas is not enough, we need to know how to communicate these ideas properly and sell them with enthusiasm, effectiveness, intelligence and strategy, to be able to balance in our presentation the passion we feel for our project with the logic of the market we need to access.

For many years now, pitching has become an essential tool worldwide to make ourselves more memorable, remembered and competitive not only in our presentations, but also in the first reissue and in the subsequent management, so that we can take a project from the idea stage to a format, then to production and finally to an exportable cultural product/content.

Starting by learning how to optimise a presentation, participants will receive tools to make their pitch impressive. The workshop is aimed at directors, scriptwriters, authors, communicators, audiovisual and cultural managers and at professionals from all fields of the audiovisual medium, art, communication, publicity, marketing and promotion who need to improve or reinforce the way they present projects and thus obtain financing for their screenplays, television or big screen projects or content.
