It is where careers accelerate, partnerships form, and projects move from idea to momentum. When you find yourself in the right conversation, you will have a few minutes to make someone lean in. That moment comes down to your pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003eMost creatives believe their script will sell the project. It will not. In a fast-moving market like Cannes, buyers and producers decide quickly whether they want to continue the conversation. If your pitch is unclear, unfocused, or too detailed, the opportunity can disappear just as quickly. The real question is whether you know exactly what to say in five minutes to make your project stand out and invite the next meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003eIn this exclusive two-part Stage 32 lab, you will work one-on-one with international producer and distributor Alexia Melocchi to craft a focused, market-ready five-minute pitch built specifically for Cannes. Alexia has placed over 100 films in the last five years and has worked with companies including Lionsgate, STX, Lakeshore, TF1, The Asylum, and Mister Smith. Her credits include ANNA, PEPPERMINT, THE BOY 2, and SHAUN THE SHEEP. She knows exactly what decision-makers respond to because she has been on the other side of the table evaluating projects for acquisition and financing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"2007\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"2007\"\u003eBy the end of this interactive lab, you will walk away with a clear, confident, professionally structured five-minute pitch vetted by an international executive and ready to use at Cannes, markets, festivals, and high-level meetings. If you are investing the time and money to be there, this is how you make sure you walk in prepared, positioned, and ready to turn five minutes into real momentum!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"112\" data-end=\"300\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"112\" data-end=\"300\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227);\"\u003ePraise for Alexia's Education:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\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\"Loved her class, because it laser-focused and re-focused on my weakest link – my pitch!
