Pitching is a crucial skill for maintaining a career as a professional screenwriter. However, conveying a two hour movie or a television series in a ten to fifteen minute verbal presentation is a tricky challenge. Doug Eboch and Ken Aguado, authors of “The Hollywood Pitching Bible,” will describe how to identify the key components of your idea and use them to structure a compelling pitch.
