You're writing, you're pitching, you're hustling your butt off—it finally pays off and you score: The General Meeting. What the heck is that and what is expected of you? Should you expect to pitch your projects? Ask industry questions? How much small talk is too much small talk? 

We know generals can be stressful, but the confidence and know-how to kill a general is a crucial skill for all screenwriters to have. That's why Roadmap is thrilled to invite Dave Devries to the webinar stage to give you all of his tips from the thousands of generals he's taken! 

This 90-Min. Webinar Covers:

  • What a general meeting is
  • How you get one
  • How to pitch/when to pitch in the meeting—reading the room!
  • How to get to know the exec
  • What you should come prepared with
  • Live Q&A
