PITCH ME PERFECT WORKSHOP
with Sasha Damjanovski
Do you walk into a pitching session with a smile and come out with a deal, or do you go in petrified and leave dissatisfied?
The PITCH ME PERFECT workshop looks at the key aspects of pitching – from identifying the hook of your project and how to make it exciting to others, to how to adjust to different audience and unexpected circumstances. We’ll look at what is more powerful than props and PowerPoint; address how to show authenticity, create a connection, deal with nervousness.
This intensive and highly motivational half hour workshop is run by Sasha Damjanovski, an award-winning writer-director-producer, coach and associate lecturer at Central Saint Martins (UAL).
Please contact us with any access requirements in advance laura.lawson@glasgowfilm.org

Short Circuit Film Club
Short Circuit Film Club is a monthly film event for filmmakers (or those looking to enter the industry) and is your chance to engage with films from around the world, and network with other like-minded professionals. Each month will feature either a specially programmed screening of short films, or a debut feature film – local, national and international – chosen to inspire and connect our Scottish filmmaking community. Screenings will be accompanied by an event to give you a chance to meet other filmmakers, discuss the films, share advice and be inspired!
