How to turn script into a pitch: Film Pitching AI

Film pitching is just as important as film production. In other words, if the pitch doesn’t go well, the film won’t have the resources it needs to be produced. Producers pitch their films because they often require investment before production begins. They also pitch to brands for product placement opportunities and to attract directors and actors.

In this article, I’ll share the best way to create a film pitch presentation using AI in pre production. Whether you're a studio producer or an indie filmmaker, the tools and best practices I’ll cover will help you pitch your film as effectively as possible using Film Pitching AI.

Pitch Exactly What You’ll Produce

What’s different about movie pitching today is that AI enables you to create a pitch that includes your actual cast and locations. You have full control over the characters and settings. So when pitching to a brand or investor, they can see realistic, AI-generated visuals that show exactly who the actor is and, for example, in which restaurant a scene will be filmed. This is a major breakthrough in AI for film producers.

Create a Pitch from the Script

AI helps illustrate your film visually. DrawStory is a platform that lets you create a pitch from script. It includes all the features film producers need to build a compelling AI-powered presentation.

Upload script:

Once the script is uploaded, AI analyzes it and turns it into a shot list. You’ll get detailed shot descriptions, camera angles, characters, and locations.

Upload cast:

Add images of your cast. For example, if your script has a character named Anne, you can upload her image. The AI will then generate visuals featuring your actual actor in the shots.

Upload locations:

If you’re pitching to a restaurant owner, they’ll likely want to see how their venue will look on screen. Upload a photo of the restaurant, and the AI will generate scenes featuring your actors in that specific location.

Tips to Use AI for Film Producers

It was common back then to read a script and start the pre-production based on that script. Today, with AI in pre production, producers can visualize the entire film scene by scene. But this is not all. We have more tips for how you can use AI for film producers effectively.

A scriptwriter is like a prompt engineer in filmmaking today, because the script contains all the necessary data to generate storyboards, pitch materials, and even help with budgeting and project management.

Turn a Script into a Pre Production Plan

To help director assistants with project management, tools like DrawStory help you turn a script into a full pre production plan where you can manage the entire project in one place. If you give it a script, it will create a project with locations, cast, props, and even a calendar for the cast and crew.

Here’s how it works:

Locations

DrawStory extracts each shooting location from your script and adds time-based details - when to shoot there and which cast members should be present. You can also set the exact time the crew should arrive on set.

Cast

Similar to locations, DrawStory tracks each actor’s scenes and connects them to the proper times and locations. This makes it easier to schedule your talent and avoid conflicts.

Props

Every prop mentioned in the script is listed, along with the specific scenes or episodes where it will appear. This helps your production design team stay on track and avoid missing key details.

Calendar

Drawstory generates an AI-powered production calendar that includes the cast, locations, and shoot days. It’s fully editable, so if an actor cannot make a planned shoot, you can reschedule directly within the platform.
