 Trailer Mechanics 

Pitch, synopsis and taster! They can be a money-making trio for your documentary film or the cause of every rejection letter you’ll ever get. This presentation by author and internationally renowned story consultant Fernanda Rossi will cover how to best represent your project verbally, in writing and with audiovisual material with clear point by point explanations and analysis of before/after samples. Her book will be available for purchasing at a discount and signing.

She has given her workshops and lectures in more than 12 countries for more than 40 film organizations and at all major world markets and conferences, including Hot Docs in Canada, Sheffield Doc/Fest in the UK, Sunny Side of the Doc in France and SilverDOCS in the United States. In addition, she’s a much sought-after trainer for special programs and grant evaluator for foundations. Her columns and articles have been published in trade publications, such as The Independent in the United States and DOX in Europe. She is the author of Trailer Mechanics: How to Make Your Documentary  Fundraising Demo, now in its second edition, which according to industry professionals is the bible on demo production. www.documentarydoctor.com

 

"After being a finalist at ITVS Open Call four times, I finally won after working with Fernanda who managed to connect the subtle dots between past panel feedbacks, proposals and works-in-progress."

--The Lost Dream, Director/Producer Jehan S. HarneyITVS recipient, 2012

--No Job for a Woman, Director/Producer Michelle Fillion
NEH recipient 

 

"I am honored to have Fernanda's ongoing input on my various projects."
