It’s common
knowledge that first impressions are everything. In fact, recent research has
shown that an opinion formed within the first seven seconds of meeting you
(or perhaps reading your introductory material) can stick for up to seven
months before you are able to turn it around. In the competitive world of
screenwriting, this means first impressions are especially important.
Your first impression can literally make or break your career. If you’re just
getting starting on pitching your idea or you’re not sure you’re making a
good first impression, this collection is for you. Included are four recorded
webinars and a video download designed to help you make sure you’re
representing your best self.
