Hi everyone
I hope you are having fun and doing well,
I am writing an animation series, it's dark comedy, Existential Satir and for adult as i mentioned.
The first season is almost finished but I know it's hard to sell and pitch it without an agent or manager and this is the first time I am doing that ( because I'm an independent film maker and never faced with this section)
If you can give me any ideas about how to start , how to pitch and should I pitch the entire season or just the idea ? and I am open to any collaboration
Thanks in advance for your kind words and helps

Welcome to the community, Erfan Shafei. You could post your logline, synopsis, and pilot script on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post them on your profile this way (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”): www.stage32.com/loglines
You could also pitch to executives, managers, etc. through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions). The Pitch Sessions are mainly to get feedback on pitches, but members have gotten managers, signed shopping agreements, etc. through the sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).
And you could keep an eye out for Stage 32's next New Voices in Animation Screenwriting Contest (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests).
Also, you usually only need to write the pilot episode, not the full season. A series bible and a pitch deck can help when you pitch your series. Artwork and a sizzle reel can help too.

Maurice Vaughan Thank you so much, I appreciate each words and it's a wonderful road-map not just advising and consult. but i think before the pitch or post synopsis I should get the copyright and registration . no ?

You're welcome, Erfan Shafei. Yeah, I think you should register your pilot script first. I register my scripts with the U.S. Copyright Office before posting them online/pitching them.
