The process of packaging and selling a project (be it film, television, etc.) can be harrowing, especially if you don’t know the nuanced particulars. As always, The Industry Workshops is here to help with their upcoming seminar “Concept to Completion – Pitch Materials” with Jude Gerard Prest.

A note about The Industry Workshops
As always, The Industry Workshops events are a bargain that anyone interested should make a point of attending. While there is the option to view the workshop online (great for those out of the LA area) there is something to be said for attending in person. The speakers tend to stick around and interact with attendees afterwards, which is a great way to make new contacts or get more in depth questions answered. So, if you can, I’d encourage you to attend the workshop itself. We’ve attended several of these workshops and the presenters are REAL people in the business. We’ve met everyone from development executives and motion picture distribution companies to owners of production companies. This is a great way to interface with real industry professionals in a great setting. Of course, if you can’t attend this event, they will be taped and you can watch the event online. Don’t miss out!
