Raindance Pitch Deck
From the outset, Elliot Grove’s philosophy at Raindance has been championing independents in filmmaking in every way possible, and nothing comes more independent than writers who wrote their scripts in solitude and now want to pitch their projects themselves.
Nowadays, pitching your screenplay to take your great film idea from script to screen goes far beyond from simply coming up with effective Loglines, catchy Tag lines and intriguing summaries; you need a professional Pitch Package to convey your vision to your addressees as close as possible to what you have in your mind.
Whether you are writing a comedy, drama or horror screenplay (and anything in between), at Raindance, our pitch package designers can help you create a pitch package which suits your purpose from the ground up, and every pitch package begins with a Pitch Deck
Hypothetical Pitch Idea:
A Canadian secret agent, posing as the funder of a major European film festival, is sent to England to solve the mystery of stolen western filmmaking industry secrets ending up in the hands of underground criminal gangs. But things get seriously dangerous for him when he finds out about a British actress’s involvement in this mystery.
Stuck photos, artwork and/or pictures of scenes from movies which inspired your scripts and you were going to put in your Mood Boards can be used; elements form various other pictures added to them; the dream cast you have been considering for your project inserted, and Voilà; you will have posters and pictures of scenes from your own stories which would communicate your cinematic vision in the form of a proper pitch deck.
Competition is stiff in filmmaking universe. If you want to find your place in this industry, you need to adapt to its ever changing trends and unwritten rules and you need to adapt fast
Considering the sheer number of screenplays sent to producers each day, you need to put together a package that stands out from the rest of the pile.
A carefully crafted pitch package signifies a carefully crafted screenplay
* From the very first step, clients are involved in the process of creating the pitch deck for their scripts through back and forth Zoom/Skype calls.

Further Notes
• The above list is by no means exhaustive. Each film project/screenplay is unique and so should be its pitch package.
• 50% discount for clients who have already purchased a pitch deck service and would like to upgrade to a higher tier package for the same project.
• The information about investment overviews, financial plans and success forecast of a script would be acquired from clients’ own prior research on similar made movies, normally conducted to establish relevance and marketability of their projects, and demonstrate their abilities to strategize a realistic (indie) film proposal. Pitch Decks would supply these information with matching graphs, charts and other necessary high-end visuals.
20% Discount with Membership Pro and 25% discount for Raindance MA Students
Turnaround time highly depends on the scale of the project and size of the document, but normally it would be between 10 and 15 working days.
