The problem with loglines

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

Someone says “oh, you’re a filmmaker? What are you working on?”

You get excited, start talking about your next film, they nod politely but then you never hear from them again.

I don’t care if it’s someone who could give you money, a potential crew member, or a dog. It fucking sucks!

Especially when you have no idea what you’re doing wrong. Today we’re gonna cover my “Have you ever” technique for pitching that actually gets the other person invested in what you have to say.

Enjoy.
