Out of the Elevator & Into the Meeting Room: Talent Discovery in Film & TV
So you have your great idea. You've got your elevator pitch down cold. Now what?
How do studios discover new talent and how do you get in front of the right decision makers with your idea? What should you do and not do in a pitch meeting? What do studio execs love and what really bugs them?
The past decade has changed the rules of film & TV production more than at any time in recent memory. Have the ways studios look for (and find) new talent also changed? Join top decision makers Angela Russo-Otstot (AGBO), Elizabeth Haggard (Participant), and Rachel Shane (Madison Wells) from three of Hollywood’s most influential production companies for an intimate conversation that will give a peek behind the curtain of talent discovery in today’s world.
