TOP 103 "The Art of Pitching"


The Communication students dominated the seminar
Pitching a script is an art form, and although it can be stressful, it's something every writer has to perfect before approaching executives or agents. So pitching is not only a job, it’s a work of art, a performance!
 “Sa pitching, necessity ang magpabaga ug nawng”, says award- winning Filipino film maker Remton Siega Zuasola, yesterday afternoon, on a seminar in film project pitching held at EMMA Center.
Pitching for Future Film makers"
Ganahan ko nga managhan ta, modako ang number sa film makers", said Zuasola. The speaker opened the eyes of the students on how to convince a producer to help make a film based on their own story or known as Pitching. 
Pitching a story is not that easy, the speaker said, that as a director, it's not only his job to make a film, he performs multiple tasks. Zuasola had been a costume designer, a writer, an editor, and a salesman himself. “Nakasuway ko nga akoy director, writer at the same time salesman. Kasuway sad kog panangtang ug kurtina sa among balay para I costume sa amo actresses ug actors”.Zuasola said He revealed that confidence is one of the best assets that made him top on art. In order for the producer to accept your story it needs to be mastered, so it would come out naturally. “Ang kahadlok moy nakahimo nako sa pagpangandam” The presentation must be animated, enthusiastic and concise. In pitching, the audience usually asks for the importance of your story, the difference of your story from other movies. The best requirement for the speaker is the viewers want to watch your movie again and again.
During the conversation of pitching, never forget to keep an eye on the prize, and  “Never be late, …..especially when you are pitching in major company” said Zuasola
At the end of the seminar, the speaker let the student watch two samples of his film works entitled, "To Siomai Love" and "Ang Katapusang Bagting".
