The Art of PitchingHow do you distill your idea for a TV series or feature film into a compelling pitch that you can present to executives and other decision makers? How do you organically exhibit enthusiasm for your project while providing the listener with the essential information for them to make a decision? What is that essential information, after all? Sheila Callaghan (Shameless, Showtime; co-founder of The Kilroys) will detail the ins and outs of the pitch and help you shape your idea into one that answers the questions: why must this story be told now? and why am I the person to tell it?Sheila Callaghan is an internationally produced, award-winning playwright whose work includes CRUMBLE (Lay Me Down, Justin Timberlake), DEAD CITY, THAT PRETTY PRETTY; OR, THE RAPE PLAY, ROADKILL CONFIDENTIAL, WOMEN LAUGHING ALONE WITH SALAD, and others. She’s an affiliated artist with Clubbed Thumb, a member of the Obie-winning playwright’s organization 13P, and an alumni of New Dramatists.
