About the event:

Personal pitch coaching is also available throughout the day on both Friday and Saturday. Additional classes on marketing and selling your script will be available all day on Saturday.

Learn how to get in the room and stay there! The basics and intricacies of all types of pitches (in person, phone, written) will be covered in an interactive class. Learn how to find, develop, package and protect your ideas with an emphasis on how to stay involved with those ideas after you’ve pitched them. Attendees are encouraged to share and develop their ideas with Mr. Kosberg personally and continue contact with him. The class will be followed by the screenwriting version of American Idol, where screenwriters pitch their ideas live to a panel of industry professionals.
