MASTERCLASS: HOW TO SMASH YOUR PITCH

This session is open to all, no extra ticket required

Pitching is a skill, not a personality trait — and most creators have never been taught it. This session gives you the toolbox. In 45 minutes, you’ll learn what the industry actually expects to hear from a pitch, why most pitches fail before the second sentence, and the techniques that build genuine confidence in the room.

It’s interactive, it’s fast, and by the end we hope a few volunteers will pitch live (1–2 mins) for instant feedback. Come ready to participate — and to walk away with a sharper pitch than you came in with.

My SMASH Media is an IP matchmaking platform connecting creators with the people who can make their projects happen — producers, broadcasters, financiers, sales agents — beyond the usual closed networks.
SMASH is free for Creators.

Founders Fiona Gillies and Christine Hartland are independent feature producers who’ve run pitch workshops for the Glasgow Film Festival (Animatic + Funny Features), BBC Writers, NFTS, Storyhouse Ireland, and more.
