How important is a pitch deck? I have one for one of my screenplays, and my agent wants to do one on another, but they are expensive. How effective are pitch decks for producers? What kind of pitch would you prefer?

Hi Karlyle! Pitch decks are highly desirable and shouldn't be expensive at all. Canva (https://www.canva.com/) is a go to a lot of creators and producers use to produce inexpensive/free decks. Studios I've worked at expect a deck to accompany the script since it is an easier way to visually access the tone and world of your story.

For a SCRIPT????? If my agent couldn't pitch a script with a logline, I'd find one who could. IMO and my 30+ years, pitch decks are for producers who are pitching a project, not a writer pitching TO producers. Everyone wants the writer to be the producer these days...

Thank you for the comments. I started writing screenplays around 2024 and had no prior industry experience, so I'm not sure how I could become a producer. I think my agent wants to be, though. I'll talk with her about it and see what she says. I'm not very tech-savvy. So, I haven't tried to create one myself. I've piddled with some AI stuff, but haven't found it very helpful, so far.

I agree with Shadow Dragu-Mihai. Save your money.
