Synopsis

Lecturer: Canada-born Elliot Grove lives in London. In 1993 he founded the Raindance Film Festival, in 1998 the legendary British Film Awards and in 2007 Raindance TV, among other things. Furthermore he has produced over 150 short and five feature films, written eight screenplays and three specialised books that are now standard reference for the industry. In his workshops Grove has been teaching screenplay and film production to thousands of young filmmakers but also to top-directors such as Christopher Nolan, Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn.

Content: You already have a script and a project, but lack everything else? This seminar holds the solution to your problem. Pitching is one of the most important skills a filmmaker has to develop to be able to collect enough funds, gather a good crew and the best talents for their project. How do you get the financiers and the people responsible for the development of the material to sign a contract? Where and how can one even find financiers? And how does one behave in the crucial meeting? These and many more questions will be answered in the “Pitching Skills Workshop”.
