PITCH DECK SUBMISSION FOR PROFESSIONAL FEEDBACK
Submit your pitch deck for a professional analysis of your screenplay's proof of concept. Pitch deck script is a set of cues or notes that help you prepare what to say in a pitch deck presentation. The script should not be a long-form text or a full list of bullet points, but rather a set of cues to help you remember what to say.
