Writers Pitch

This week at film school we were tasked to pitch the script we have been working on for the past three weeks in my case it was Last Dance, a romance / drama film that I had challenged myself to write, although working on it and refining it I personally believe that the story hadn’t hit the point I was looking for at this point I would describe it like a lukewarm or room temperature soup, there were moments and themes in the script I wanted to bring to the surface but wasn’t able to and personally I feel as if I missed the mark and these were closer to the subtext of the film that is why before I was going to pitch the film I personally didn’t want to make this film yet, as the story wasn’t ready.

Although I had decided I didn’t want to create this film yet when it came to the pitch itself I was extremely nervous, and I’m pretty sure that came through, In general I’m not the greatest public speaker I often prefer to retreat into my shell, this leads to how I could have improved in the future, Although I practiced my speech and what I was going to say doing it more and more could have led to less nerves overall which would have helped have a better overall pitch.

Overall to its hard to say whether I was successful or not, overall I personally didn’t want to make the project and was successful in not getting it picked but a successful pitch in the eyes of everyone else would be one that got picked to go into production, so… I’m going to say I was successful in my own goal.
