PIFF 44: If/Then The Art of the Pitch
The Art of the Pitch session deep dives on best practices in virtual pitching and considerations for post-COVID production funding. Mentors from IF/Then will share sage advice on preparing your elevator pitch and long-form presentations to gatekeepers. Two film teams will be invited to pitch their film live during the panel and receive feedback in real-time.
