In the first episode of the second season of EAVE IMPACT ONE-TO-ONE (see the news), EAVE pitching expert Sibylle Kurz – who has accumulated a vast amount of experience in pitching training and has worked in various organisations – and well-known Sarajevo-based producer and founder of independent company SCCA/pro.ba Amra Bakšić Čamo explore the crucial subject of pitching and preparation.

During the talk, they attempt to address the specific difficulties encountered by a producer while pitching, especially if it is a question of ownership of the project, or if it is regarding his or her shyness and fear of receiving feedback. Also, how hard is it for a producer to pitch the personal story of a director, and is it good to try to focus on the universality of a story? Finally, is the training of producers and of film professionals increasing the quality of pitches in general, and has pitching been mystified in the film industry?
