A Pitch Bible is a primary tool for selling a story. It is a comprehensive guide to present film or web series details to producers and OTT platforms. The Pitch Bible serves as a key document that highlights the essential elements of the story uniquely and engagingly. It should be concise, clear, and captivating to attract potential buyers or collaborators. A well-prepared Pitch Bible lays a strong foundation for the creative team to move the project forward.
- It helps convey their creative vision to producers effectively.
- Many producers may not fully understand a story through words alone, so the Pitch Bible provides a visual and structured format to help them grasp how the film or series will look on screen.
- Even if a writer is skilled in storytelling, presenting a structured three-hour narrative can be challenging. The Pitch Bible assists in overcoming this hurdle.
- Instead of visiting multiple production offices and waiting for meetings, filmmakers can send the Pitch Bible in advance and request an appointment.
- Producers receive hundreds of stories every month and often lack the time to read full screenplays. As a result, many great stories get overlooked due to time constraints. A well-structured Pitch Bible increases the chances of getting noticed.
- Helps assess whether a story has commercial potential.
- Essential for selling or licensing films to OTT platforms, either through revenue-sharing models or outright sales.
- Creators design the Pitch Bible in a way that best suits their project and target audience.
- When pitching to OTT platforms, the document must be in English for clarity and broader reach.
- A well-translated and polished English version of the Pitch Bible is crucial when approaching international buyers and streaming services.
