“In one session Dawn taught me the value of honing my story down to a concise pitch so that I didn’t fall into the trap of rambling on about it and revealing too much too soon.”

“Dawn’s knowledge and experience caught my attention. She helped me create a logline, cold open and pitch to grab an industry representative’s interest. She took the time to understand my characters and their stories. Her perspective on how to market a screenplay and personal brand are crucial for anyone wanting to achieve success in the film industry.”

“What I expected to be a 30 minute consultation with a stranger ended up being an invaluable conversation with a great friend. More than a wonderful coach, Dawn is a generous listener. She took the time to learn about my story and prompted insightful questions that led to great new discoveries. Rather than jump right in and just fix the logline or tweak a plot point, she helped me nurture the best version of my story and trained me on various techniques on how to share it. Whether at a bar with a curious friend, a formal pitch session, a general meeting or at a pitching convention with executives, Dawn will teach you different ways to entice an audience with your stories.“

Ms. Fields has created a special step-by-step process that helps you learn the secret to great pitching by turning your pitch into a compelling conversation. This unique method helps you stay focused on the overview of your story, engage the listener and takes the stress and anxiety out of pitching.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
• Customize your pitch for the many different KINDS of pitches, many different PEOPLE you may be pitching to, and WHEN to pitch
• Create a concise and effective logline that will help you formulate your verbal pitch
• Develop two versions of what I call a “Cold Open” which encompasses all that is compelling and unique about you and your project: a short version that contains more info than an elevator pitch, and a longer 5-8 minute version
• Identify the KEY WORDS producers must hear BEFORE they can really HEAR your passionate story
• Create an organic back and forth conversation, easily and effortlessly
• Know when to stop talking, and allow a two-way conversation to begin
• Look for clues as to whether you should continue or not
• Answer any and all questions about your story quickly and concisely
PITCH DECK TEXT
Pitch decks are used across the industry in many different ways and I can help you create the text for a pitch deck (if you need one) as the process used in creating your verbal pitch is very similar.
For example:
• FEATURE FILMS (for producers vs investors vs actors, etc.)
• TV PILOTS
• DOCUMENTARIES
• ANIMATED PROJECTS
• DISTRIBUTION ‘STREAMING’ DECK
These decks need to be customized to reflect the type of project, its stage of development/production and the unique styles and personalities of its creators.
