Not So Pitch Perfect

Okay, so it is now time for me to start working on my pitch for my film. If you're wondering what a pitch is, it's a quick spiel about my movie and what I plan to have happen, and all that jazz. Well, I wrote it up and when I was going over it, I realized that it was not nearly as good as I want it to be.

I know that they're certain points that I need to hit when pitching:

Introduction
Logline
Protagonist Introduction
Production

I thought that it would be a piece of cake, seeing as how I'm a natural orator and all, but no. That Protagonist Intro part was hard! Who would have known that summarizing 99 pages into 3 paragraphs would be so difficult? I was told that it should be about five minutes long.

I practiced it and let's just say that underwhelmed is an understatement. That sucker needs work! And as I'm reading over it, looking for ways to make it better, I get a text from my friend, Joey. He later took a screenshot of our conversation and sent it to me, and that's what you're about to read. He's blue...


If he can talk to himself for ten minutes, then I've got more work to do. Time to get back to it! I have meetings lined up for next week. Practice makes perfect, and there's not such thing as being too prepared!
