Oliver Park has successfully sold pitches to major studios and production companies including New Line Cinema, Lionsgate, Atlas Entertainment, Vertigo, Decal, RatPac, Millennium Films and Broken Road.
Join him in this transformative 6-week course where you'll learn practical techniques to expand your creativity, boost your confidence, and create the pitch that will sell your story.
Pitching is more than just a skill—it's the key to unlocking opportunities in the creative industry. Whether you’re aiming to sell your script, secure funding, attract talent, or gain representation, a powerful pitch can make all the difference. In a competitive landscape where decision-makers hear countless pitches, standing out is crucial. This course is designed to transform your approach to pitching, helping you deliver clear, concise, and captivating stories that leave a lasting impression.
Understanding the intricacies of pitching is essential for bringing stories to life. This course covers everything from developing your idea into a pitch-ready concept to securing and succeeding in meetings with industry professionals. You’ll learn the nuances of tailoring your narrative to different audiences and the importance of building professional pitch decks.
Oliver will not only walk you through the pitches he has sold, but also the ones that didn’t (and why they didn’t), giving valuable insight, discussing common mistakes, pros and cons, networking, industry language and much more - including how to wow your panel in unique ways like the filmmakers behind these famous titles below:
Oliver Park, a British born writer represented by Gersh in the US and Independent in the UK, brings a wealth of experience to this course. His last feature film (The Offering) reached No.2 in the Apple film charts following its worldwide theatrical release. Oliver is currently developing projects to write and direct films for various producers, including Academy Award Winner Charles Roven (Oppenheimer, Wonder Woman, Uncharted), Walter Hamada (The Conjuring, The Batman, Aquaman), Roy Lee (IT, Barbarian, Don’t Worry Darling, Late Night with the Devil), and is deeply excited to bring the tools he has learnt and crafted to all filmmakers and storytellers.
This course is more than just about learning to pitch; it’s about transforming your approach to storytelling and collaboration.
