About the Workshop:

Do you know how to pitch your project in under 20 minutes? You should.

There’s a common misconception that the longer your pitch, the better. But at Netflix, it’s all about quality over quantity. This hands-on workshop will guide you in crafting a pitch that cuts through the noise and gets attention fast.

Led by Christopher Mack, Director of Grow Creative at Netflix, the session will focus on:

  • Structuring a strong, clear, and compelling 20-minute pitch.
  • Identifying which of your ideas are pitch-ready.
  • Understanding what Netflix looks for when hearing new concepts.

Whether you’re an emerging writer or a seasoned creator, this workshop is your gateway to mastering the art of the pitch.
