Join Lab Members Isabelle Carbonell and Sarah Cannon, two Washington DC based filmmakers, as they lead a hands-on workshop on how to improve your pitches, restructure them, whittle them down, practice them, and ultimately pitch them to a partner, a group, and then the whole class. We will wrap up with a discussion on how to digitize your newly improved pitch, and the dos & don'ts of video-pitches.
Disclaimer: We are both filmmakers, and Isabelle specializes in documentaries, so we will be concentrating and most helpful for film pitches, but any and all pitches are welcome (just be warned).
Needed: COME ARMED WITH A PITCH TO PRACTICE AND WORK ON!
Optional: bring your video cameras to record them.
And, after Isabelle and Sarah are done, stick around and work in the Lab!
For information on Isabelle and her experience as Documentary filmmaker & photographer check out her website: http://www.izaca.com/ and Sarah's at http://www.sarahcannon.com /
