INDUSTRY DAYS presents: Mini Course "Mastering the Pitch: The Art of Selling Your Story"Pitching is everything. It’s not just about selling a project—it’s about how you present yourself, how you command a room, how you make people believe. At this workshop, I will break down the mechanics of a winning pitch, dissecting what works, what fails, and why. But beyond that, we’ll talk about pitching as a way of life—because how you pitch is how you live. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a storyteller, or simply someone who wants to own the room, this is your chance to sharpen your skills and learn from someone who’s been on both sides of the table—at Netflix, at Truenorth, and across the global industry. Come ready to elevate your game.
The course is FREE but you need to REGISTER (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf43LrW_JTH1TktmjINjSKrlVS5_s9CzjKrNNHvXyT-iRwz8w/viewform) .
