Successful Pitching
The Art and Business of Making Your Pitch
STICK!
Special Guest Expert
Tony Ford
Tony Ford, CEO Magnitude Management
Pitches that STICK
and get you to the next level.
If you're reading this, you are a storyteller. But telling a compelling story in a feature film is very different than grabbing an investor's attention in 2 minutes.
Tony Ford, pitch coach, trainer and biz dev hero will show you how to craft a 2-minute pitch that sticks with the judges, the investors, and the audience. He will discuss formats, methods and how to blend business and art in a powerful short form narrative that leaves the audience wanting more.
Tony will also cover how to expand into a 5-minute pitch with visuals, and the key elements that investors look for when making the jump into film funding. Using real examples, and building some of the class pitches, Tony will show you how he has raised millions for his companies and clients.
