About this Event

Master the Art of the Pitch
with Screenwriter Michael Greenwald + 2 Small Group Mentorship Sessions

A compelling pitch can be the difference between a project that gets greenlit and one that never sees the screen. This intensive workshop teaches you how to distill your story's essence into a concise, powerful presentation that captivates studio executives, producers, and potential collaborators.

In this three-hour interactive workshop, you'll learn:

  • How to identify and communicate your story's core emotional impact
  • Techniques for structuring a pitch that hooks listeners from the first sentence
  • Strategies for conveying your vision while leaving them wanting more
  • How to handle questions and objections with confidence

The workshop includes hands-on activities where you'll draft and refine your own pitch with immediate feedback.

What's Included:

  • One 3-hour interactive workshop
  • Two follow-up small group mentorship sessions for personalized guidance as you develop and polish your pitch

Mentorship Dates (subject to change):

  • Monday Track: April 7 & April 28
  • Wednesday Track: April 8 & April 29
  • Location: Tempe, AZ

Whether you're preparing to pitch your first screenplay or looking to sharpen your presentation skills, this workshop will give you the tools and confidence to make your story impossible to ignore!All events will take place in Tempe, AZ.

Speicial Add-Ons include monthly mentorship with one of our mentors. Also, PSA is planning on bringing Manager Marilyn Atlas (https://manuscriptacademy.com/faculty-members/marilyn-atlas) who will lead a workshop on getting repped. Participants will also have an opportunity to pitch their projects to Atlas.
