need-practising-pitiching-lawyers_looks_webAre your hundreds of query letters being answered with “We don’t take projects without representation”? Got a quality script but no one is giving you the time of day? Want to skip all the deafening silence from the overworked junior executives? Skip right to the top! Speak directly with the former Senior Executive VP of Production at Universal – Tom Craig. Pitch your script to a pro with several years of high level studio experience. If Tom Craig likes your pitch he will consider optioning and developing it, furthemore he will recommend it to rossWWmedia, Corp. for consideration as part of their production slate and also pass it on to TalentScout International Management to consider for representation and exposure to several production companies and studios. If your project has been fine-tuned and ready to go, get it in the hands of someone who can do something! Details:

  • The Pitch will happen over the phone, always speaking directly with Tom (not an assistant)
  • For 15 minutes, the writer can pitch as many projects as they like to Tom Craig who will then decide whether or not your project is something he might be interested in handling for possible production. If he gives a positive nod to the project, rossWWmedia Productions will also be open to reading the project.
  • The 15 minute session can be used however the writer wants. We suggest pitching two ideas max, leaving Tom Craig enough time to give you constructive feedback, not only on the quality of your story but also on your pitching skills, with a view to improving both.
  • Tom Craig has over 10+ years in the field of production and development at Universal Pictures and United Artists. (He was responsible for guiding Rainman, Shakespeare in Love, White Palace and Beethoven through the studios.) His ability to spot quality projects quickly is top notch and now he’s offering his own time to hear out talented new writers who are finding it difficult to just get noticed after exhausting the traditional means.
