These days, there are various ways to get your movie project funded -- everything from foreign sales to independent finance companies to crowdfunding.
But at the heart of Hollywood, the studio system still stands supreme.
And for good reason.
It’s exclusive, financially lucrative, and all-but guarantees international distribution in that most magical of places: The Movie Theatre. And let’s be honest, we all want to see our names and faces up there on the big screen.
But how? What’s the best way to prepare a story? As a pitch? Or a script? Don’t they just want IP’s? And how do I get in the door? It’s impossible!
Hardly.
In this fun and informative class, you’ll learn everything you need to know about developing a story -- either as a pitch, or a script -- for presentation to the major and mini-major Hollywood studios. Specifically, we’ll discuss the following:
What the heck is a producer?
The major (and mini-major) studios demystified.
How to find a studio-friendly story
How to control the material
Seeing your project from a studio’s point of view
Marketing - a double-edged sword
Developing your story/screenplay for Hollywood
Easy mistakes to avoid
Who Should Attend: Producers, obviously. But also writers, directors, intellectual property holders, and anyone wanting to sell to the major buyers.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll know how to:
Properly develop a story for Hollywood
Pitch it professionally to an executive
Get that elusive studio meeting
