Pitching Workshop — Sun 7th June, 11:00–13:00 A focused online workshop for writers and filmmakers learning how to pitch short films with clarity, confidence and impact.
Across this session you will work through practical techniques to shape a compelling pitch verbal and visual that communicates story, character, theme and commercial potential within the short-film format. Emphasis will be on structure, emotional stakes, packaging and delivery, with attention to runtime, budget and market positioning and of course FESTIVALS
What you’ll cover
Core principles of a short-film pitch: one-line loglines, logics of progression, and the emotional hook that lands quickly.
Structuring your pitch: opening hook, stakes and character, key beats, and a concise closing ask.
Tailoring pitches for different audiences: festivals, funders, producers and broadcasters—what each wants to hear.
Visual and verbal packaging: pitch decks, images, clips and how to use them to support rather than overload.
Communicating budget, scale and production practicality clearly and persuasively.
Delivery skills: voice, pacing, body language for on-camera and in-person pitches; handling questions and feedback.
Who it’s for Filmmakers, writers and producers working on short films at any stage—from concept to locked script—who want to sharpen their pitching craft and increase their chances of funding, production or festival interest.
