Pitch Me Perfect is a dynamic workshop designed for film directors, producers, and creatives preparing to pitch their projects to industry decision-makers. Whether you’re meeting with investors, sales agents or production partners, this session will give you the confidence and clarity to walk into your pitch knowing exactly how to hook your audience—and seal the deal.
Led by award-winning writer, director, and BTTL coach Sasha Damjanovski, this 3-hour online workshop will help you transform your pitch from shaky to show-stopping. Sasha brings over 25 years of experience across film, television, and business communications—as well as his expertise as a storytelling coach and associate lecturer at Central Saint Martins (UAL). His approach blends creative insight with performance-based coaching techniques that leave a lasting impact.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
• Identify the HOOK of your story—the element that grabs attention and makes it memorable
• EXCITE your listeners and make them want to know more
• PREPARE effectively so you walk into the room ready to shine
• ADAPT your delivery to different personalities and meeting formats
• Deal with NERVES and project AUTHENTICITY without relying on PowerPoint
These skills go far beyond pitching—they’ll serve you in every professional meeting you attend.
Whether you're stepping into your first investor meeting or refining your pitch for Cannes, Pitch Me Perfect will help you master the moment. Because when your pitch works, your project sells.
