I teach pitching not just as something you do at the end, but as one of the most powerful tools in early development—helping you think through your idea, clarify your intentions, and find the language to communicate it with precision.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked with writers and directors across film and television—helping them land their ideas on the page and shape how those ideas are talked about in the room. This class draws directly on that work.

You do not need a finished script to take this class.
In fact, it’s ideal if you’re at the beginning—when you have the seed of an idea and want to shape it into something clear, compelling, and fully realized.

If you already have a script or pitch, this class will help you pressure-test it.
We’ll look at the questions that come up in an industry room, so you can see where your project is strong—and where it needs clarity.

Whether you're developing a new project or preparing for meetings, you’ll learn how to structure a pitch that reflects how projects are actually evaluated and advocated for within the industry.
