How to create a stunning deck to help sell your feature or TV series

So you wrote an incredible script and you’re really proud of it. Now what? You share it with friends and family, enter some screenwriting competitions, get some notes from script analysts. You do edits, edits and more edits. Then what? Well, these days, it’s the dreaded (but sometimes necessary), pitch deck or series bible. 

Some say this is one of the hardest things you’ll ever write. But, with the right tools, guidance and a dash of inspiration, you too can build a kick-ass pitch deck & series bible.

Maya Zivkovich will walk you through the importance of this document and break down the different components needed for your deck to truly stand out from the rest. No design experience necessary—you’ll get plenty of her best tips and tricks from her many years and expertise as a graphic artist.  

By the end of the presentation, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge, tools, templates and (hopefully) the motivation to get you on your way to creating your very own deck and be one huge step closer to selling your work.
