Screenwriting : Pitch decks by James Sutherland

Funny you should mention this because I attended an excellent Pitch Deck seminar via Screenwriting Staffing last night hosted by Dallas King. If you go to the SS website you may be able to download it for a fee (not sure).

Michael David thank you very much for the heads up!

Hi James Sutherland - You may be mixing names up - A Pitch Deck and a TV Pilot Series Bible are two different things. The Series Bible is only needed after you sell your script and the studio/network pays you to complete it while the Pitch Deck helps you sell your script! Best of luck - Here is the direct link to Michael David mentioned https://www.screenwritingstaffing.com/deck

Thanks Amazing Kacee my bad, then it’s definitely a pitch deck because I’m yet to sell it!

Hi, James Sutherland. TV pitch decks are usually longer than feature pitch decks. That's because a TV pitch deck has things like Season 1 Episodes (loglines or very short summaries of the episodes) that a feature pitch deck doesn't need.

Here are two websites where you can see pitch deck samples (TV and feature):

Here's an article on how to make a pitch deck (it has a pitch deck sample): https://screencraft.org/blog/screenplay-pitch-deck/

Richard Lamb posted a link to his pitch deck in the Screenwriting Lounge and asked for feedback (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Need-some-feedback-on-my-first-Pitc...). You could see how he formatted his pitch deck.

And here's a great webinar on putting together a pitch deck (www.stage32.com/webinars/How-to-Put-Together-a-Perfect-Pitch-Deck-for-yo...). It's taught by Michelle Alexandria. She REALLY knows her stuff about pitch decks. I've worked with her on pitch deck jobs.

You can also do an image search for "movie pitch decks" on Bing (www.bing.com/images/search?q=movie+pitch+decks&form=HDRSC3&first=1).

Hi Maurice Vaughan my TV pitch deck is definitely longer including many of the things you mentioned, but it's also a good point, and thank you very much for all these resources, I'm beginning to realize I'm just scratching the surface of preparing a pitch deck, its both exciting and scary at the same time, but I believe they are valuable documents and so I'm motivated to make them an important element of my marketing to encourage people to engage with me and my work, thanks again!

You're welcome, James Sutherland. Making pitch decks gets easier the more you do it.

Ok Maurice Vaughan Amazing Kacee Michael David I have redrafted a pitch deck based on all the comments on this thread with one of my more developed features, I'm posting the link, it's the deepest I've been in developing a pitch deck, and thanks to everyone here it's been a really valuable learning experience, any feedback is very welcome, and thank you again because without this thread I would have the pitch deck I have now.

You're welcome, James Sutherland. Ok.
