Greenlight: Pitch, Package & Finance is a 4-week live online class on pitching, packaging and financing a film or series. It costs $249 for the full course or $69 for a single class. It meets Mondays 6–8pm PT and is capped at 8 students. The next course starts Mon, Nov 16.
Greenlight is a four-week live online class for writers, producers and filmmakers who have a project and want to get it funded. A great script isn't enough on its own. Financiers, producers and investors want to see a clear pitch, a strong package and numbers that make sense.
We start with the pitch: your logline, your story in two minutes, and why this film, why now and why you. Then we build the package: the pitch deck, the look book, comparable titles, and how attaching a director, cast or producer changes the conversation.
The second half of the course is about money. We cover how to put together a realistic budget top sheet, how independent films are financed (equity, pre-sales, tax incentives, gap financing and grants), and how to present a finance plan that looks credible to investors.
Each week you present to the group and get notes. You leave with a pitch you can deliver, a deck you can send, and a finance plan you can stand behind.
Classes are capped at eight participants, so every project gets time each week.
