Richwood Script & Media offers
Pitch Coaching & Development

Not all writers like to pitch -- some would rather do anything but pitch.  Still, it's a necessary evil in this town and it can be very lucrative.  Whether your storytelling skills just need polishing, your idea needs objective input or if it's your first time out -- your story, beat sheet or pitch can be dramatically improved by an experienced, confidential development executive who has heard and given pitches for 19 years.  Blair Richwood has been there, in the room.   Let her help you get past a "pass".

Pitching is like fishing -- they don't call it "catching".  The main thing you're pitching isn't your story idea -- it's yourself.  Make a good impression even if you don't make the sale.   Richwood Script Consultants helps you avoid the mistakes, prepare for surprise and tell a story that the executives can imagine in the room.  In your personal coaching session, Blair Richwood will address all or any of these important aspects to a pitch:

• STORY - is it ready?  Is it new?  Is it marketable?  Is it a movie?
• GENRE - is it as funny, suspenseful, exciting, moving, scary as it needs to be?
• STRUCTURE - do the plot points beat out correctly?   Does it track?  Is it in proportion?
• PLOT - do you have enough reversals, reveals and twists, or too many?
• ENDING - does it surprise, delight, satisfy?
• CHARACTER - is there someone to root for?  Are the roles appealing to talent?
• STORYTELLING - are you telling it the way it needs to be told?
• TEAMWORK - if you're pitching with a partner, who says what and why does it matter?
• AUDIENCE - who do you pitch to, when -- and what about those first 10 minutes?
• PRESENTATION - how the act is not the storytelling and what to do if you're shy.
• IMPRESSION - how do you get them to like you even if they didn't like your story?

Let Blair Richwood guide you through the pitfalls of the room with private Pitch Coaching at our office, or your home or office, for $150. per hour, two hour minimum.
