Speed Pitching
A unique chance to present your ideas to one of four successful TV executives. If you’ve got a great idea for a TV programme, sign-up for the session making your pitch no more than three minutes long. Choose to present it to either Helen Bullough, Charisse Holder, Sue Murphy, or Cat Lewis. This is your chance to get feedback from TV executives in an informal environment. Will your idea stand up to the dragons?
To enter, fill in the Speed Pitching Application Form and send it to exposures@cornerhouse.org before Monday 24 November, 12noon.
I don’t have a full pitching idea, but i’d still like to ask questions to your guests, can i get a ticket for this event? Speed Pitching is a one to one event, but we will be happy to give you the opportunity to have a short one to one session with the TV executive of your choice. Just email exposures@cornerhouse.org with your name, a contact number and who you would like to speak to before Tuesday 25 November 17:00. Then come to Urbis on the day at 10.30am; we will allocate you a time for your conversation.
