Screenworks Life's A Pitch
Be Discovered
 There was a great roll up at the launch of Screenworks Life's a Pitch and it was wonderful to see lots of new faces along with our established members.
Independent producer Trish Lake explained the importance of a good pitch and what is involved in becoming a professional screen content creator. Trish also explained the function of the Screen Producers Association of Australia and the benefits of attending their conferences.
Last years winner Wendy Grey gave an account of her experience in competition as well as tips on how to prepare and give a good pitch.
Mandy Rogers, a contestant from last year reported on her experiences and the opportunities that she has been presented with as a result of being in Life’s A Pitch.

Some of the points that were presented on what to consider before you start polishing your concept for pitching were:
> Who are the audience, what broadcaster or platform and what timeslot?
> How will it get funded in the current Australian landscape?
> Who have you surrounded yourself with? Is the team talented enough to pull it off?
> How is your project uniquely special? How does it differ to anything else currently on screen and how will it go up against what is already out there?
