A good pitch can mean the difference between seeing your name at the top of a lucrative studio contract or on a form rejection letter. It’s a well-known industry fact that film executives typically devote about two minutes of their attention to directors and screenwriters who bring them their ideas hoping for a deal. Can you capture their attention and pique their interest in the time it takes to order a latte at Starbucks? Your future as a successful screenwriter or director may depend on it.
Part science, part art and 100% pure adrenaline. The Perfect Pitch, written by a Hollywood veteran, shows you how to make the most of your sales presentation and get your project sold. A great business book that any sales professional can use.
The book’s author, Los Angeles-based Ken Rotcop, served as creative head of Embassy Pictures, Hanna Barbera, Transworld Pictures and Canon Films and produces Pitchmart, Hollywood’s biggest screenplay pitch event.
What people say
“Forget about snappy dialogue, characterization and plot. It’s the pitch that gets a script read and a movie deal done. If it were not for Ken Rotcop, most new writers would be out of the loop.”
John Lippman,
Wall Street Journal
The art of pitching, it seems, is one part idea, one part delivery and about ten parts chutzpah. Ken Rotcop coaches his students on how to make prospective producers fall in love.
