When you’re new to Hollywood, screenwriting, and filmmaking in general, the size and scope of the systems in place out here can seem pretty daunting. We know, we’ve been there too. All these names and titles that get thrown around are enough to make anyone’s head spin, and it’s easy to get lost and confused when trying to figure out who’s who, what they do, and whether or not you need to be trying to talk to someone.
Don’t panic! We have Matt Rosen here to help break it all down for you!
This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- The state of the industry today
- The players (agents, managers, and lawyers - oh my!)
- Writing, pitching and networking
- How writers can best position themselves for success
