What you will learn
This course will help you strengthen your presentation skills and enable you to communicate the core of your concept with impact.
We will start with an open online Zoom workshop where everyone can join and learn the core tools for identifying and framing a strong pitch. This is followed by a two day in person workshop in Viborg, where you can test your pitch and receive direct, one to one feedback. Attendance at the Zoom session is required to join the in person try outs.

A ZOOM workshop that helps identify the essence of a concept, so that you can pitch it anywhere from an auditorium, a client’s office to a noisy pub. It will help you pinpoint the elements that make or break your presentation. The focus is on framing your story so as to transform the people in the room to get your concept financed. It is applicable across film, TV series, fiction, documentaries, entertainment formats, XR and interactive media.
The session is open to everyone, and you can attend without joining the following in-person workshop.
