East West offers Pitch Making Workshop

Many of us have a screenplay, play, or web series -- and it would be great, IF ONLY WE COULD GET IT FUNDED!!!

What's Your Pitch: An Artist's Guide to Fundraising is a 4-week workshop that will give you practical tools to help you raise financing for that dream project you've always wanted to make. Through the workshop, participants will:

--Create business plans for their project

--Build networking strategies to find investors and partners

--Fashion marketing tools that will help sell your project

--Develop a strong pitch

In the final workshop, each participant will pitch their project and be critiqued. This is a great opportunity to develop a plan to make your dream project come true! Perfect for writers, directors, actors, or producers that have projects they would like to get funded.
