with Screenwriter Michael Greenwald + 2 Small Group Mentorship Sessions

• How to identify and communicate your story's core emotional impact
• Techniques for structuring a pitch that hooks listeners from the first sentence
• Strategies for conveying your vision while leaving them wanting more
• How to handle questions and objections with confidence

The workshop includes hands-on activities where you'll draft and refine your own pitch with immediate feedback.

What's Included:

• One 3-hour interactive workshop
• Two follow-up small group mentorship sessions for personalized guidance as you develop and polish your pitch

Mentorship Dates (subject to change):

• Monday Track: April 7 & April 28
