How To Get Your Project On Netflix - Richard Botto on the Indie Film Hustle Podcast

Comedy Feature Regular
Posted by Richard "RB" Botto

Happy Thursday, Creative Army!

Following the success of our Stage 32 + Netflix TV Pitch Workshop hosted by Netflix's Christopher Mack, we are proud to have officially partnered with Netflix to bring our community even more free global entertainment workshops. These workshops have now been attended by over 150,000 film, television and digital creatives and pros and continue to make global waves with each passing day.

Through this long standing relationship with Netflix, along with my conversations with hundreds of entertainment executives and creatives in the Stage 32 network, I have collected valuable insights to help answer the question I hear most: "How do I get my project on Netflix?"

I could think of no better person to sit down and discuss this with than my long time friend, paisan, and collaborator, Alex Ferrari, as a guest on his phenomenal Indie Film Hustle Podcast to give you all the tools you need to pitch your project to the white whale of streamers: Netflix. 

This was my 15th or so appearance on Alex's podcasts (a record which I am proud to hold) and if you've listened to any of them through the years, you know you're in for laughs, no BS talk, and a ton of pertinent and actionable information. 

In this wide ranging, epic hour and half long chat, Alex and I talk about everything from how to structure your story for a Netflix audience, how to package your pilot, and other information on how to best position you and your content for the streamers. But this isn't all we talked about. Far from it. We touched on a ton of screenwriting, filmmaking, film producing, financing and much, much more. 

You can listen to the podcast here, or watch the full interview on YouTube. When you're done, come back and drop us a note in the comments section and let us know what you took away!

Cheers.

RB
