Join us for ISA Presents: Put Your Best Pitch Forward. This is a fun, lively, informative conversation with the screenwriting duo behind Five Feet Apart, the Curse of La Llorona and Nightbooks.

Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis know how to pitch. They know how to sell themselves and their ideas.

Why not learn from the pros?
We will ask them about reading the room, how long a pitch should be, what it should contain, what to leave out, how to avoid pitfalls, how to grab and hold attention, and maneuver as you go through your pitch.

Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, the screenwriting duo behind CBS Film's FIVE FEET APART Warner Bros.' THE CURSE OF LA LLORNA, and Netflix's NIGHTBOOKS are currently adapting Mikki’s novel ALL THIS TIME for Lionsgate.
