Your story.

Pitch perfect.

Elevator Pitch Studio is a platform for creators to transform ideas into professional pitches — crafted to stand out, be taken seriously, and ready to open doors

Every creator has a spark

Maybe it’s a character you can’t stop sketching.
Maybe it’s a world that’s lived in your imagination for years.
You can see it on screen, in a game, or as a series.

 

But then the questions set in:
How do I actually pitch this? How do I make it look and sound professional? How do I get anyone to take it seriously?
 

 

“Great stories shouldn’t stay hidden in sketchbooks or hard drives.”
 

 

For too long, the ability to pitch depended on who you knew, or whether you lived in Los Angeles. Great stories got stuck in desk drawers — not because they weren’t good enough, but because they weren’t presented in the right way.
 

At Elevator Pitch Studio, we believe talent is everywhere — and the difference between an idea that stalls and an idea that opens doors is how it’s pitched.

 

 

Why most pitches don't sell

Every artist has a story they believe in. But most great ideas never get the chance they deserve to move forward.
 

Why?
 

  • Loglines that don’t grab attention
  • Worlds that feel flat or disconnected
  • Decks that look like scrapbooks instead of selling a vision
  • Nervous delivery that undersells the idea
  • Even not knowing what the show is actually trying to say

     

“It’s rarely about talent. It’s about presentation.”
 

 

Framing your story so decision-makers see its potential — that’s what makes them remember it.

 

 

Turning sparks into professional pitches

Our 16-week beta program is designed to give animators, game developers, and storytellers the tools to bring their vision to life at an industry level.

 

Through live group sessions, one-on-one coaching, and hands-on practice, you’ll shape your project into a polished pitch deck and a confident verbal pitch.


 

By the end, you’ll walk away with:
 

  • A market-ready pitch deck that highlights your world, your characters, and your hook.
     
  • A verbal pitch you’ve refined through live practice sessions.
     
  • The skills and confidence to present yourself not just as an artist — but as a creator with a vision.
     


 

“You keep 100% ownership. Your story stays yours.”

 

 

Experience you can trust

I’ve spent over 25 years in the animation industry — as an animator, director, and co-founder of Doberman Pictures. Along the way, I’ve worked closely with DreamWorks Animation to develop their pitches for market, and I’ve had one of my original series ideas optioned by both DreamWorks and WildBrain Studios.
 

 

“I’ve been the one pitching. I’ve been the one deciding.”


In other words: I don’t just know what goes into a pitch. I’ve built them. I’ve sold them. And I’ve helped major studios refine theirs.

 

As a creative director, I’ve sat on the other side of the table too. I’ve seen dozens of pitches come across my desk — some brilliant, some forgettable.
 

 

 

“I know what belongs in a pitch — what doesn’t — and what makes someone lean in to hear more.”
 


 

That’s the perspective I bring to Elevator Pitch Studio. Not just theory, but lived experience. I know what it takes to turn your idea into a pitch that demands attention and has the best chance of getting that elusive “yes.”

 

 

What the beta includes

  • Exclusive 16-week program: Live group sessions, one-on-one coaching, and full recorded access.
     
  • Your rights, always: You keep 100% ownership of your work. This is your project — we help you make it shine.
     
  • Selective enrollment: Only applicants with a project already in progress will be considered. We’re looking for creators serious about taking the next step.

 


 

“This isn’t for hobbyists. It’s for creators ready to level up.”

 

 

Where this can take you

You won’t walk into a major streamer tomorrow and sell your series — no one does. But you will leave with a professional pitch package that can:

 

  • Compete at festivals and pitch competitions
     
  • Spark interest from independent studios and producers
     
  • Strengthen applications to labs and development programs
     
  • Elevate your portfolio, proving you’re not just an artist — you’re a creator with a vision
     


 

“A great pitch doesn’t guarantee a deal — but it always opens doors.”
