SCWR 440: Developing the Pitch

In this course, students will create an inventory of new material for future writing projects by developing and pitching stories for independent and studio films, as well as cable, streaming, and network television series. Through lectures, guest speakers, and workshop exercises, we will analyze the vital role of pitching in the entertainment industry, and build a foundation to help students master professional pitching techniques. Students will seek to mine their own lives, using their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities to highlight their unique perspectives in the projects they pitch.
