Definitive!,
By HeyJudy "heyjudy" (East Hampton, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Pitch: How to Sell Yourself and Your Movie Idea to Hollywood (Paperback)
Anyone entering the murky waters of trying to market a screenplay to Hollywood will be well-served by this primer. THE PERFECT PITCH explains the system to the neophyte, and then it goes on to give constructive advice as to how to work within the system to achieve that elusive goal of selling one's script.Anyone who has written a screenplay--or anyone who is considering writing a screenplay--will be well-served by the abundance of information provided here. Author Ken Rotcop is one of the best respected of that legion of experts who participate in servicing the Hollywood newcomer, and his work here has been nicely assisted by the organizational skills provided by his editor, James K. Shea. THE PERFECT PITCH clearly is the best of its class of primers and manuals. It's the real deal, the definitive book on the tricky art of pitching one's story.

Perfectly Uninformative,
By J.A.R. "mobuli" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Pitch: How to Sell Yourself and Your Movie Idea to Hollywood (Paperback)
I'm not particularly religious. But this book inspired me to research all Gods, long buried or still alive, so I might beseech them to give me the two hours back that I decimated reading this book.It might give you the inkling of the environment of the pitch, but otherwise the book doesn't help you develop, write, work on a physical or verbal pitch on any level worth taking to a meeting. I've seen professional writers (eg. working writers) talk about pitching, and what's offered here is, at best, passing opinions. That, linked with the constant dropping of the Rotcop's accomplishments like 'pitchmart', buries this book's credibility, and seals it with an iron lid. Spend your money on one of the other books on pitching. Though I haven't read them, they have to be better. Or buy a book about storytelling. Or spend the money buying your friends coffee and pitch them to get practice. Or dig a hole and throw your money in that.

Marginal at Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Perfect Pitch: How to Sell Yourself and Your Movie Idea to Hollywood (Paperback)
This book doesn't deliver what you're looking for. First of all, Mr. Rotcop says he was head of four studios. When I hear "studio" I'm thinking UNIVERSAL, PARAMOUNT, MGM...not small production companies that own studio eqpt and lot space...that turn out B pictures straight to video or third rate cable TV.Secondly, the book doesn't seem to be much more than an advertisement for his workshop. I hope that his workshop is good--however, the book leaves quite a bit to be desired. It is odd to me that he has trouble giving "evidence" of success stories based on his own Pitchmart other than a few stories of B/straight to video pieces. In a word I was UNDERWHELMED.
