It's getting harder and harder to get documentaries made. The key to making yours stand out in a time of content saturation is pitching it with vision and conviction. What makes your story pop? What elements make a project stand out? Why is yours one that must be made? Unrealistic Ideas President Archie Gips and Director Jody McVeigh-Schultz, the creative team behind the new Amazon doc series SPY HIGH (premiering at SXSW), teach you the keys to pitching a doc. Come prepared with an idea that you are passionate about and this workshop will teach you what it takes to make your project a reality.
