“The Art of Pitching” – or how to present your project effectively and attractively

Lecture by Anna Szczerbińska

Public speaking, presentations, pitches are slowly becoming everyday business routine (also in the film world). Yet for many of us they are still a challenge. In front of the audience we make lots of mistakes – what we say is abstruse, chaotic, with no plan, we often try too hard to be funny or exaggerate with the use of professional language. The effect is cheap and no matter how good our idea is, not a soul will pay any attention to us. And nobody wants to be remembered as a “merciless bore who kept losing the thread”. Our aim is to make those to whom we direct our words listen to us, understand us (SIC!) and remember us. Easy to say, but how to do it? We will talk about structuring our presentations and about our own preparations. Which mistakes to avoid and which practice is the best to “seduce” the listeners at the end.

After the meeting there will be a chance to make arrangements for individual counsel.

The number of places is limited.
