When you watch a horror movie, do you ever wonder what dark magic the creators used to bring those terrifying moments to life? How do they summon bone-chilling performances from actors, or craft visuals so haunting they linger long after the screen goes dark? Directing is a shadowy craft, often cloaked in mystery, and working in genres like horror and comedy requires a special kind of alchemy.

Whether you’re dreaming up a horror short, a comedy series, or a powerful doc, every story needs a pitch — a way to clearly communicate what your story is, why it matters, and why you’re the one to tell it. In this workshop, we’ll break down the anatomy of a great pitch and learn how to create a compelling visual pitch deck or lookbook — the go-to tools filmmakers, writers, and showrunners use to sell their vision.

What do your dreams say about you? About us? and our World? Let's explore the horrors of cinematic dream-scape and put it onto the page. Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Destination, Happy Death Day, future visions, moving the mind into our poetry, into the written word. Our fears, our terrors can become our balm, our protection, our strength. Enter the portal, follow the tv static.
