Pitch Your Project
Are your query letters being answered with "we don't take projects
without representation"? Got a quality script but is no one giving you
the time of day?
Skip right to the top! Speak directly with the former Senior Executive
VP of Production at Universal - Tom Craig. Pitch your script to a pro
who has had every major writer pitch to him over the years. Tom will
give you feedback to help you blow away studio executives and
producers. Scoring off a pitch is an art form in it's own right and
most people get it wrong. You get one shot at it, make sure that you
go in knowing exactly what do do. Dont wing it! If Tom Craig likes
your pitch he will consider optioning and developing it, furthermore
he will recommend it to rossWWmedia, Corp. for consideration as part
of their production slate and also pass it on to TalentScout
International Management to consider for representation and exposure
to several agencies, production companies and studios.
If your project has been fine-tuned and ready to go, get it in the
