But if you're heading into MIPCOM without a pitch that can grab a busy executive's attention in five minutes or less, all that work is at risk of going unnoticed. Decision makers at markets like MIPCOM rarely have time to read a full script or series bible before they're already interested — your pitch is what earns you that interest in the first place, and it's often the only shot you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMany writers and filmmakers believe that a polished script or a fully built-out series bible is enough to get a project sold. It isn't. You might have a broadcast-ready concept and still watch it fall flat in the room because you're unsure which narrative, production, or budget details to lead with, or how a feature pitch should differ from a television pitch. In an environment as fast-paced as MIPCOM, you won't get a second chance to make that first impression land.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat's exactly why you'll be working directly with Alexia Melocchi, an international producer and distributor whose recent projects have been distributed through Lionsgate, STX, Lakeshore, TF1, The Asylum, and Mister Smith. She's worked on films including ANNA, PEPPERMINT, THE BOY 2, and SHAUN THE SHEEP, and she's placed over 100 titles in the last five years. Alexia has pitched to executives and been pitched to by creatives from every side of the table, and she brings that firsthand perspective directly into her one-on-one work with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAcross two sessions, you'll learn the key elements that make a pitch land, how a feature film pitch differs from a television series pitch, and how to shape your narrative, production, and budget details for maximum impact. You'll also cover how to adapt your pitch across formats — written versus oral — and how a strong pitch deck can elevate the whole package. With only 10 spots available and each one paired with direct, personal feedback from Alexia, you'll walk away with a five-minute pitch vetted by an international executive and ready to use at MIPCOM and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis interactive Stage 32 lab is held on Zoom and goes substantially more in depth than a Stage 32 webinar. Best of all? As soon as you sign up you will be linked on email with your Stage 32 Educator and given a questionnaire to fill out and send back to them. You will have access to your Educator for the duration of your class by email to ask them any questions you have about your craft or career - it’s like having a mentor on demand! And, if you can't make a live session, don't worry! All class recordings will be available 48 hours after each session and you will be able to view them in your Library on your Stage 32 profile. Finally, you can expand your network with like-minded creatives - you'll have a dedicated lounge for interactive support and discussions with your fellow classmates!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Alexia's Work and Teaching:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #222222; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Alexia Melocchi's two part class was hugely productive for its' interaction, constructive criticism and broad based information all the while hosting a friendly environment.
