Summary: Marginal at Best
Comment: 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.

Summary: Definitive!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Pitching your Script!
