GIMLI FILM FESTIVAL SEMINARS, presented by Film Training Manitoba

Film Training Manitoba is pleased to present a series of seminars as part of the Gimli Film Festival, beginning on Friday, July 24th with READY, SET, PITCH!

This workshop will take place at the Waterfront Centre, with guests Joanne Levy and Phyllis Laing from Buffalo Gal Pictures.

So you have this great idea but how are you going to sell it in three minutes? Pitching is all about communicating the essence of your screenplay or project to an agent, a studio executive, or a producer.
The first half of this seminar will focus on the fundamentals of a good pitch. The second half of the seminar will be dedicated to one-on-one pitching, with ample time for questions and an opportunity for feedback on a private rehearsal of your pitch.

Registrations for this event can be made in person through the FTM office,
or by calling us at 989-9669.
