Producers and Developers are always on the lookout for something
fresh and new that will entice audiences to tune in. It's not
easy to find original content, do producers and
managers the favor and show up with your work. They want to hear your
pitch!
There is a reason executives come to Stage 32 for pitch
sessions... they know our writers have superior material, and are
serious about their careers. They know our education programs,
coverage, and consultations have been utilized by our community of
writers to elevate scripts to industry standards. They know you
have worked hard to create compelling, unique projects. They want to connect
with you.
We know
this, because they tell us, and our executives keep coming back. Beyond
that, there are several producers below who have already
optioned scripts from our community of writers.
Who would
you like to connect with about your project?
There are several more execs
available to hear your pitch!
