What's the hardest part about pitching your idea? Is it condensing your full script into five minutes? Is it getting over the stage fright? Or is finding a way to articulate why you, why now, why this story?
So many of us write our scripts because we love the characters or the stories excite us, but each writer has to decide what their story is really about and what they hope audiences will take from it. Being able to effectively communicate why your story needs to be told is a key component of the pitching and marketing process.
To help you bridge this gap, Roadmap welcomes Danny Rocco with this special two week clinic!
This 2 Week Clinic Will Cover:
- Why do you write what you write?
- Themes and messages
- Feedback on your why you, why now, why this story
