The one-day workshop will enable participants to effectively and persuasively pitch film projects. The training will be facilitated by Writer/Director David Keating and will show how to deliver a pitch which is clear, memorable and most likely to generate interest.
Keating’s recent directing work includes ‘Wake Wood’, for which he also wrote the screenplay, starring Eva Birthistle (The Circuit) and Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones).
The deadline for applications is Tuesday February 14th. The workshop is aimed at writers, directors and producers who wish to examine and enhance their pitching skills.
