THE BLACK WRITER'S COLLECTIVE
pitch decks
& bibles
• A PITCH DECK is a critical tool when you're trying to get your film to TV show financed. It is how Film and Television projects are being considered. Executives, agents, and buyers are asking if there is a DECK they can see prior to reading the script or even discussing interest in a project. Having a clean, to-the-point deck can make or break your chances.
• A pitch deck with cover page, logline, story summary, main character breakdowns, comparable projects, ideal cast, key art, producing team, location, mood, tone, inspiration comparable projects (comps), casting ideas, future seasons, key creatives, producing team contact info, social media.
• Depending on the stage of development, there are additional elements you could include such as comparable projects, market projections, and foreign sales track records.
