The 20-min Market Pitch Meeting
Six students will be given the opportunity to participate in a simulated 20-minute market meeting where they will pitch their project to the Course Convenor, Michelle Hardy, and Co-Founder, Screenwriter and Producer at Whoa Bandit Productions, Rick Kalowski.
The students will be randomly selected on the first morning of the course and pitch meetings will take place the following afternoon. Fellow students who aren’t pitching will have the opportunity to watch each of the meetings and learn from the feedback provided.
Once registered, if you would like to have the opportunity to practice your pitch during the course and receive feedback, please email the course convenor HERE with the name of your project by 12:00pm AEST on 12 September 2023.
