From Pitch to Punchline (ATX Festival 2018)
Pitching a TV show can be an intimidating process, but these creators have the added level of having to sell funny. What are the do's and donts of a comedy pitch?

Panelist: Joel Church-Cooper (Brockmire), Kate Lambert (Teachers), Jeff Astrof (Trial & Error)
Moderator: Ben Travers (IndieWire)
Recorded Live at the 2018 ATX Festival
