So you have a great story concept or you may already have a script ready but how do you get this in the hands of a film producer? If you think someone will just magically come and fund you because you have a good script, you’re wrong. So how do you convince potential investors to make your film dreams come true?

Pitching has become an essential part in the filmmaking process but it is not an easy task and is an artform in itself.
