Got a great idea for an animated series, but don’t know how to pitch it so perfectly that TV execs will be falling over themselves to buy it, or even where to start in the pitching process?
Well, we can’t tell you if you’re the next Matt Groening, but we’ve got just the thing to put you on the right path and get your foot in the door: Welcome to Animation Magazine’s How to Create a Winning Animation Pitch event!
On Friday, Sept. 18, Animation Magazine ‘ home of the annual print-based Pitch Party for the past eight years ‘ is hosting a panel of animation development execs, artists and agents to discuss the secrets of creating and presenting a winning pitch for an animated project.
This mid-morning event at North Hollywood’s Beverly Garland hotel (with complimentary breakfast buffet) will feature animation veteran Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom) as keynote speaker.
Hartman’s presentation will be followed by an insightful panel of industry professionals, including Leah Hoyer (director of development, Disney Television Animation), Heather Kenyon (VP of project development, Starz Animation), Troy Underwood (manager, The Gotham Group), Curtis Lelash (director, comedy animation, Cartoon Network) and Marci Proietto (senior VP of animation and development, 20th Century Fox TV).
This informative session allows you to meet some of the top decision-makers in the business and to take home valuable tips on how to fine-tune your ideas and presentation skills.
So what are you waiting for? Come on in, the water’s fine (and the coffee is free!).
