How do you sell a movie pitch or idea?

Answer 1

1. Come up with the story, its genre, and who is the target audience. Since you want to pitch the movie idea to Disney, then, make sure it is family-oriented. Also, make the story compelling and emotionally engaging for audiences whether the idea is original, adapted, or based on a real-life event.

2. Second, begin to outline the screenplay and the sequence of events. Come up with the characters and give them an individual personality. Once that's settled, begin writing the screenplay. It is also safe to have some collabratation with other people to make your story more creative.

3. Next, make sure you copyright your screenplay so there's proof that the screenplay is written by you.

4. Then, submit your screenplay to Disney.

5. If you get the attention of a producer affiliated with the Walt Disney Company, then, come into partnership with him/her, and they will arrange some time to pitch your idea to the Disney executives.

6. When it's time to pitch, swallow your fears, and simply state the synopsis of your movie idea, and even act the events with props to make the idea seem interesting. If they approve it, you're in luck!
