First impressions are an important ingredient of social and business relationships. So what do you do when you meet a producer, agent, studio or network exec for the first time? How do you react when a pro asks about your latest screenplay? If a story editor requests a synopsis of your project before looking at your script or book, what's your response? What should you expect when you take a "Hollywood" meeting?
These questions have actual "correct" answers, and Hollywood Insider Kathie Fong Yoneda is the go-to expert for them. After you've taken this course you will be prepared and have the confidence to meet and greet the people who assist in your big break or take your career to the next level.
Your online session concludes with a private 30-minute phone meeting with Kathie to practice your pitch! That alone is worth the price of admission.
With twenty-five plus years experience, Kathie Fong Yoneda has worked for Paramount, Columbia, MGM, Universal, 20th Century Fox, and Disney, specializing in story analysis and development of live action and animated projects. Her career includes executive posts with Walt Disney, Touchstone, Island Pictures and Disney TV Animation. Kathie is an internationally-known seminar leader and an independent script consultant whose clientele includes several award-winning writers. She was co-executive producer on the cable series BEYOND THE BREAK and is the author of THE SCRIPT-SELLING GAME: A Hollywood Insider's Look At Getting Your Script Sold and Produced.

I have gotten more out of your course [Storytelling: How To Write Stories That Will Grab And Hold Your Audience] than I ever thought possible. All of the comments/suggestions you've made have been so helpful, that I don't think I could have progressed without them. Thanks so much!
