How to Make a Film Pitch Deck - part of your film financing plan

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

This is more for filmmakers and writer /directors. If you are a screenwriter, your SCRIPT is your selling document and you wouldn't necessarily need something like this to sell your script.

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Not that I know of.

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Reality TV isn't my thing so I don't know. Anyone here know about pitching reality TV?

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Inktip is legit. It's more for smaller budgets, but totally fine. I think I used it once in the past and made a connection with a company in Canada.

[@MrMuma1989]

For a film financing plan do you not need any financial model? Cashflow waterfall? Projected revenue?

I am finishing up my feature film, but I went way off script and basically I only have the movie to show...would this not work for those who are wanting to see my work? I do have some shorts as well as a trailer from my previous short.

[@bradical6019]

Omg, someone who actually SHOWS themselves making a pitch. Most just talk blah blah blah. It's so hard to watch an example pitch being presented. Thank you, great work

[@jbbruno6312]

GREAT video on Pitch Decks. I've been a producer and line producer for over 30 years, but I hate promotional material - and now I have to do a Pitch Deck for a new project. Most of the videos I've seen are either too simple, too specific, don't relate, and don't really give you a "how to." This is concise, and with all the links, actually guides you through the process, ESPECIALLY if you are not the most art-savvy. Thanks you thank you thank you. I wish I could give it more than one thumbs up!

[@ScreenActingSuccess]

Thanks for opening my eyes with this tutorial that will help me create a pitch deck for my screenplay. Love the clarity of your presentation.

[@juliedesnick7401]

Thank you for this information. I have this same problem that my monitor is too high so I have to tilt my head up and get a neck ache. You need to lift your chair up somehow if you can't lower your monitor, both for the camera and the well-being of your neck.

[@mseriesnigeria]

Thanks so much for this wonderful information. The video post really boost my ability to start work on my feature film pitch Deck .

Very informative thank you

[@reikiworldnews8915]

Love this info. Thank you! One question please: if I make a 10 page movie pitch deck with the pages being PDFs, how can I email them to potentials investors and know that they will receive them in the correct order from 1 to 10? What is the best way to present to 10 pages... powerpoint? a PDF booklet of some kind? I would dearly appreciate any guidance. Ross

Hi, can you please make a video about how to write a synapsis of a film. If you can as sooooon as possible please!

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Can I ask why u want to make a synopsis? Are u showing this to someone or have been asked for one?

[@esraamustafa2592]

I’m writing a tv series to a Norwegian conpany and I need to write a synopsis for all the ten coming episods. I kinda know how but I’m sure it will be much more better with ur advice!

[@esraamustafa2592]

I have a contract with this company and they asked me to write a synopsis.

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

OK, TV episode synopsis is different than film synopsis. I'll put it on the list.

[@esraamustafa2592]

Thank you so much!

[@TheBebelehaut]

if you wrote a script, what would it be about in general? Me, I'm writing a script set in UTAH. It's a moody, atmospheric film about a state trooper, his life and a woman in what appears to be a witness protection program. It has a bright and dark side and a somewhat upbeat ending. I've already arrived at an idea for what should be one of the greatest scenes in movie history...

[@jabeles1]

nice information, thx.

[@lindsayvogel4908]

Hey @worlddancer, This information is amazing! Thank you! You would do the same thing for creating a sizzle for a docuseries right? Obviously tweak it a bit.. but do you recommend anything specific for a docu-series?

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Not my specialty, so I don't have any tips for that:)

[@tenetclasses4855]

Mam.....I have one question that I'm writing a script,which script I want to make an animation movie on it.....so what should I do for this??means how to sell or how to produce?? Which should is my first step??because I'm writing the script it is left to finish yet

[@60secondhealthtips48]

After using the canva templates would we download the images and upload them on KZbin and send that KZbin link to investors?

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

It is usually presented as a pdf. I have seen some video type presentations, but I don't have any good examples of those to show you - I'm not as familiar with doing them that way.

[@60secondhealthtips48]

@@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144 is a pitch document different?

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Depends on who you are sending things to and what they want. Sometimes when you are pitching they will ask for a "one sheet." Info on one page.

[@TomMariano69]

Hi Word Dancer - i need to do a deck for my TV series. do u have a way i might be able to contact u to talk about the right template. I have all the info ready to go i just the right telmplate

[@LeviairDragon]

What happened to your most recent video?

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

KZbin's content ID system flagged it as copyrighted material so I had to dispute it as "fair use" and it goes through a process. Should be back within 30 days when that is done.

I'm not sure what you are asking.

[@HarpreetSingh-iz8em]

Word Dancer - How to write a screenplay it means man I made the stories and their screenplay also but I don't understand how to make script

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

You made the screenplay, but don't know how to make the script? The screenplay would be the same thing as the script.

[@HarpreetSingh-iz8em]

Word Dancer - How to write a screenplay OK finally u tell me plz what is difference between story writer and screenplay writer

[@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144]

Story is the idea. The screenplay is the script that has everything exactly written out with dialogue and everything. Go to Scriptslug.com and download screenplays to read.

[@kerryewagner]

Thnx!!

damn i dont have a known actor in it so seems like this wont work to her

[@gianthills]

You cannot get an A list actor without a budget in place.

[@thysweetlove]

Forget Canva, it is bug ridden, particularly when it comes to saving or exporting your work. Add to this there is no back up - it just saves to some unknown destination in the cloud - and this means you can spend half a day working and creating what looks like a great presentation only to find you can do nothing with it. Canva then gives you one of the most annoying prompts of any software I have ever used. 'saving paused'. This actually means saving FAILED and there is absolutely no way to get around it. They should also give the message 'Customer Service Paused' because it is none existent.

[@kingkylie9655]

This is bad advice. Never make a pitch deck by yourself, WRITE IT then send the text to someone who graphic designs PDF's for a living. Then go to a special print shop that keeps the bright visuals on hard firm paper and get it coiled. Make sure you have a film finance version (more numbers, logistics, studio, production, licensing information) and one that is more creative based (LOTS of visuals, lots of enticing words, tags for what the movies about ie. thriller, fantasy, lots of headshots of ppl working on/in the film!). Once you have these two booklets, create a website and post it on the website as PDF, then post about it on social media, then attend pitch meetings on stage32 for example and link your website. If they're interested let them know that you have some physical booklets you'd like to send over. Mail them. BOOM. Thats all it takes to get an email back 3-6 months later to get your stuff produced but you have to invest in your pitch package and invest in building your own audience, and ONLY pitch quality.

Amazing. Thanks 👍
