Pitch Your Film In 15 Seconds

CineWomen is a cool networking organization for women filmmakers in New York. This month, I am going to “Pitching in 15 Seconds!” a CineWomen workshop that will be given by Laura Allen, co-founder of 15 SecondPitch (and a good friend of mine, she even plays a cameo in my film). She will be custom designing this workshop to teach women how to pitch film projects. Laura is a huge inspiration to me and I’m really looking forward to this. 15 SecondPitch also has a free online network where you can practice pitching and learn more about marketing. Here’s a link to my page to see an example.

“Pitching in 15 Seconds!”
March 2007 (now being re-scheduled)
7:00 – 9:00 PM
NYWIFT Conference Room,
6 East 39th St., 12th Fl
New York, NY

Here’s the description from the CineWomen website:

“What’s your project about?”
It’s the first question anyone will ask.

Your 15SecondPitch™ lets you answer with confidence and get them interested in learning more. Workshop leader Laura Allen has developed a set of techniques to which help you craft your pitch and market yourself and your work more effectively.

Laura also has a bi-weekly networking group, 7 MINUTE MARKETING, for women in New York. It attracts some awesome women and is a great way to get ideas for your freelance business or a new job search. During last year’s networking group, I got a lot of support and help making my film. The next 7 MINUTE MARKETING meeting is February 15th. If you’re interested in signing up for that, email me at explodingtoad@gmail.com for more information.
