It's really difficult to strike the right balance between character development with action when pitching. Think about how much time you are allocating to both, and for what reason. If we don't truly know the characters in a meaningful, authentic way, it's difficult to be invested in what happens to them, no matter what situations they are presented in. Don't be afraid to slow things down plot-wise so we can really understand the 'who' (as opposed to the 'what').
