Join NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) for a virtual workshop with Entertainment Career Coach & Talent Agent Consultant Jim Arnoff about pitching and networking. Whether it's an interview, networking event, feedback meeting, pitch meeting or general, what's the best way to make the strongest, most memorable impact? How can you craft the most compelling emails, list of credits and narrative biography? How can you make Zoom your best friend in pitching yourself? Jim will help with coaching tools to lose those mental blocks, decrease your nervousness, engage powerfully and interact dynamically to create a lasting connection. What does it take to powerfully pitch yourself by embracing all of your roles in the industry, what are the essentials to dynamically pitch your projects, how can you be tuned into all those other opportunities that are actually in the room, what goes into giving/receiving feedback with maximum results? It's all about being the authentic you - open, real and confident.
