Happy 2017! Today, on episode 88 of Producing Unscripted we’re helping you kick off the new year right. Trying to break into unscripted television, documentary series, true crime or reality TV? Here are three ways you can stand out from the crowd in 2017.
2017 – The Year You Separate Yourself From the Hollywood Crowd
Just some of what we cover today:
* The list of things you must know about each project you pitch
* The “elevator pitch” culture and what to do instead
* What not to say in a pitch meeting in 2017 – or ever
* The scope of a producer’s pitch
* Should you seek sponsorship or integrations for your show before pitching it?
* How to take your pitch from “idea” to “package”
* Why packaging makes all the difference, especially when you’re just starting out
* Type of shows you can pitch that are automatically a package
* The pros and cons of learning new skills and how to find the right balance
* The real point of learning new skills in Hollywood – and how that helps you
* And…the one thing Biagio hopes Joke NEVER LEARNS how to do
