Nervous wreck about pitching? Or just need some fine tuning on an ailing pitch? Well, there's one prescription: Go see the Doc. He'll help you tweak that pitch 'til it purrs; or maybe just inject that boost of confidence you needed all along. The office is open, the Doctor is in, and he will see you now.

Hollywood Agenting - The Down & Dirty Truth
In this seminar, Rima will take you inside the day of an agent. You will learn what agents do, how they approach finding new clients (you?), how they work with clients, and the truth about the lies they tell. Whether you want an agent or already have an agent, this is invaluable info revealed direct from the source. NOTE: last November Rima spoke to the Dallas Screenwriters Association. When Larry asked DSA President Steve Davis how it went, he said, "She's great! You're really going to like her. She's the least pretentious of all the agents and managers that I've met. She's funny and smart."
