Brilliant Pitches Perth Live Stream Event

The Power of the Pitch

Screenwest will host a free live stream of Screen Australia’s Gender Matters: Brilliant Pitches Forum on Monday, 16 July 2018 at Fielder Street Creative.

The one-day forum will be led by renowned US producer Sheila Hanahan-Taylor (FINAL DESTINATION, ODDBALL). The forum is designed to help screen creatives pitch themselves and their projects to the local and US market.

A good pitch opens a door, a great pitch sells a project. Sheila will spend the day weaving together pitch strategies, meeting etiquette, story sense, branding, and all manner of approaches to making your material sound and feel like the great idea it is.

This forum will be aimed at female creatives, however all are welcome to register!
