Instead, it’s about a consistent and evolving creative practice and vision, and the ability to bring your collaborators along for the ride.
In week 5 we’ll be seeing some updated and revised pitches and getting an update on those projects that got greenlit.

Remember:
- Think about who you are and what it is that needs to leap out of your mind and into the mind of the audience.

- Research, read, watch, listen and grow the idea.
- Find the ear!
- Find a way to pitch the idea and bring along your team.
