ICE’s popular Pitch Writing Workshops for emerging screenwriters from Western Sydney returns for 2016.

The writer’s first shot at grabbing the attention of a producer or TV exec is usually through the pitch. In the shortest and most succinct form, the pitch must convey the essence of the story, characters, and dramatic stakes, and hook the audience from the on-set.

Screenwriter Nick Parsons (‘The Straits’, ‘My Place’) will facilitate intensive Pitch Development Workshops, covering the narrative elements needed to communicate strong, compelling stories, and support emerging writers to develop a 1 or 2-page pitch document. Workshops are FREE. Up to 10 participants will be selected from Expressions of Interest.
Expressions of Interest close midnight Sunday 20 March, 2016.
