PITCH LAB
Craft the Hook. Own the Room. Pitch to Real Decision Makers.
The Proven Formula to Pitch Your Film or Series—and finally get the YES that changes everything.
Confirmed: Executives from Sony Pictures and Wocstar Media are waiting to hear your story.
You’ve got the idea. Maybe even the script.
But when it’s time to pitch?
You freeze. You ramble. Or worse — you get the polite nod with no follow-up.
The truth is, most writers, directors, and producers were never taught how to pitch — even though pitching is the one skill that can open the biggest doors.
That’s why I created the Pitch Lab.
In just 6 weeks, you’ll learn how to craft a compelling hook, pitch yourself with clarity and confidence, and sell your show like a pro.
You’ll practice live in mock pitch rooms with peers — and then step up to pitch for real at our exclusive Elevate Mini Pitch Festival, featuring executives from Sony Pictures Worldwide and Wocstar Media.
No more missed opportunities.
No more wondering if you’re ready.
You will be.
