Anglia Ruskin University Film&Screen Saturday Club participated in a Masterclass on developing the perfect elevator pitch, led by filmmaker Brian from True Vision, a documentary production company. 

Brian introduced True Vision and explained the process of pitching ideas, highlighting the different techniques used in direct pitches to individuals to emailing organisations. He emphasised the importance of brevity and a strong pitch title. 

Club members were then tasked with developing a pitch deck for a factual feature-length documentary or series. As examples, Brian showcased pre-titles and pitch decks, illustrating how ideas evolved during production as new information emerged. They also analysed a selection of shorts aimed at young audiences. 

The session concluded with pitch presentations, career insights from the True Vision team, and a photo opportunity with Brian’s BAFTA award!
