BPS 029: How to Pitch Your Screenplay in 60 Seconds with Michael Hauge

You walk onto an elevator and just before the door closes Steven
Spielberg gets on. You have 60 secs to pitch him your latest
screenplay. What do you do? Your goal is to have your audience
say “yes, I understand, and I care” after reading or watching your
brand story.

If your audience just says “now I know” then you have successfully
informed them but not enough to make them care, to make them stay
to whatever you have to say next. Your career can be made in
60 seconds - if you make the right pitch!

Today's guest is returning champion Michael Hauge. He is the
best-selling author of Writing Screenplays That Sell (now
in its 20th Anniversary Edition) and Selling Your
Story in 60 Seconds: The Guaranteed Way to Get Your Screenplay or
Novel Read. 

According to Will Smith,

“No one is better than Michael Hauge at finding what is most
authentic in every moment of a story.” – Will Smith

We discuss pitching techniques, the pitch story arch, and much
more. After partnering with Michael on the best-selling Udemy
Screenwriting course Screenplay and Story Blueprint: The
Hero’s Two Journeys I wanted to work with him again. We came
up with the NEW online course Pitching Your Screenplay or
Novel in 60 Secs. 

Enjoy my conversation with Michael Hauge.
