But AFM isn't a festival or a networking mixer where you can hope someone falls in love with your story. It's a business market, and if you want to walk away with real conversations and real interest, you need to show up prepared to sell your project like the commercial product it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHere's where most filmmakers get stuck. You might think a beautiful pitch deck is enough - but a deck full of gorgeous images and no clear strategy won't get you in the room, let alone keep you there. You may not know who you should actually be approaching, what those companies are looking for, or how to position your project as a viable film rather than just an interesting screenplay. Without that clarity, even a great story can get lost in a market that moves fast and runs on commercial instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat's exactly why you'll want Alexia Melocchi in your corner. As a PGA producer and partner at Little Studio Films, Alexia has spent over three decades building relationships across international markets, with more than 30 producer credits and a client list that includes acquisitions like La La Land, Beautiful Boy, and Now You See Me 2. She's sat on both sides of the table as a seller and a buyer, which means you're learning directly from someone who knows exactly what executives are thinking when your deck lands in front of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAcross four parts, you'll learn how to determine if your project is truly ready for AFM, build a pitch deck that's strategic rather than just visually impressive, identify and approach the right companies for your project, and walk into meetings with a clear ask and the confidence to defend it. By the end of this class, you'll have a completed target list, customized outreach emails, and a deck built specifically for the global marketplace - so you can head into AFM ready to turn conversations into real opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis interactive Stage 32 class 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\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003ePraise for Alexia's Education:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Alexia is a phenomenal teacher and mentor! Her vivacious and warming personality took over and made the webinar educational and entertaining. Alexia has way of connecting with people that's very sincere and genuine. She also has an extensive background of real world experiences in the film world which in my eyes, makes her a dynamic speaker.\" - Philip S.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"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!
