A well-written movie pitch succinctly communicates the unique premise, setting, and characters of your film, while also capturing its emotional resonance and potential appeal to audiences. Here’s an example of a movie pitch:
Inception:
“In a world where technology enables us to navigate and manipulate dreams, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance to redeem himself. Using his unique skills, he must plant an idea into the mind of a corporate magnate. However, in the maze-like world of dreams within dreams, every action has unforeseen consequences. Caught in a web of love, guilt, and fragmented memories, he must confront his own demons while racing against time. A mind-bending journey through the realm of dreams, where reality is more than just perception.”
This pitch effectively summarizes the unique concept and premise of the movie (navigating and manipulating dreams), introduces the main character (a skilled thief with a chance for redemption), and hints at the challenges and conflicts he will face (planting an idea, dealing with consequences, confronting personal demons, and racing against time). It also conveys the intriguing, mind-bending nature of the story and its emotional depth (love, guilt, fragmented memories).
Remember, the key to a successful movie pitch is to engage your listener’s curiosity and make them want to know more. It’s about selling the potential of your idea, rather than detailing the entire plot.
