A picture is worth a 1000 words!
That's why it's so important to have a visual component to your film or television script. Let Jess Carson walk you through the steps of creating a killer pitch deck. You'll gain the tools to make a solid film/television deck that captures the exact style and tone of your project so that there's no confusion on what your vision is for your story.
Shows like STRANGER THINGS and ADVENTURE TIME have really raised the bar on how pitch decks are constructed and presented. Decks were crucial in getting both of these highly creative and outside-of-the-box concepts sold. The more you can paint a clear picture of the world, mood and characters of your script, the more likely you are to wow executives!
We get it. Pitch decks can be intimidating, but that’s why Roadmap has designed this special five week class to guide you through the process and walk away with a professional pitch deck ready for marketing!
The Five Week Class Will Cover:
- The structure and content of a pitch deck
- Content, language, and tone
- Graphics and design
- Presentation
- Pitching with a deck
Jess Carson is a Los Angeles-based Black writer/director who made her way into filmmaking in her hometown of Little Rock, AR by self-producing a number of short films within her local community through trial, error, and a sheer love of the craft.
In 2015, she decided to branch out to hone her skills in more saturated markets – first by way of Brooklyn, NY, where she was hired to write an Off-Broadway musical, ONLY HUMAN, and then settling in Los Angeles, CA in 2018.
Her work spans genres and her focus is on well-rounded, character-driven narratives that resonate with audiences of all demographics as well as those that put society under a lens via undertones of societal commentary.
Most recently, Jess was a writer on the CW's THE FLASH, from the end of season 6 until the end of the show's 9-season run. She is also polishing a wide range of projects and is actively developing a gritty, original TV show, DEAD RED. She is represented by managers Kegan Schell & Abigail Palmer at Navigation Media Group.
