The Pitch

Bikas Das/Associated Press from NY Times

Today I started a documentary film workshop at the Canadian Screen Training Centre at the National Film Board. The workshop has been amazing so far, and I've been loving all of the advice that we're getting from our knowledgeable instructors! It is great to get a business oriented workshop, and there are so many details that you have to learn about. Our assignment for tomorrow is to bring in pieces of our work for a practice pitch session for our documentary projects or future film ideas. Tonight when I was coming home I took a cab and got into the most intense conversation with my taxi driver. He started telling me about the monsoons in Pakistan and India, and was describing it in such rich descriptive detail. Mountains and rivers and floods and pounding rain 24-hours a day! He inspired me with this idea for a documentary where the focus will be on regions with severe flooding and rainfall, and then juxtapose it with footage from arid regions where there is drought like Australia. The overall narrative of the piece will focus on climate change and how it is effecting the distribution of water on the planet.
