Direct the Film
Once the concept and writer have been chosen, we will select a director to bring the film to life. Use your director's pitch video to explain your intentions as a director to the Lionsgate production team. You have the synopsis and scene sample to understand the story and characters - so within this extremely short format, how you intend to make the film unique and memorable is more important than summarizing plot. What will your film look like? What will it feel like?
If you have the time and resources, we suggest shooting a scene inspired by the selected concept for your pitch video. This can be taken directly from the scene sample or something that captures your vision for the story. We will be judging your ability to engage the viewer while making the most of limited resources - not the gloss of high production values.

From the Studio
Tell us a little about your background and how you came to film? I mainly come from a music video and commercial background, although I also create short films every now and again.
Once again, we've been overwhelmed with the quality of submissions received during the Director's Phase of the Incubator program.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Barbara Gray and learn a little more about the emerging writer, as well as hear how development is progressing for The Wrong Guys for the Job - the first film from the Lionsgate Incubator partnership.
We believe that THE WRONG GUYS FOR THE JOB is a fun story that fits the desired male-driven comedy genre while maintaining a relevant and accessible theme.
It's hard to contain our excitement for the fantastic response to our first program under the Lionsgate Incubator. With over 1,400 submissions, this has been the most successful development phase to date and shatters our previous record for number of concepts entered.

You've got such a nice camcorder behind you at 8:41, why don't you use it?
Like are you using a cheap camcorder to record rather than that professional one?
It doesn't make sense, if you have it then why not use it?

I love this pitch. I really like how you cut it and the actress is amazing!

Its under my impression that you only had 2 minutes or so to cut your pitch. You should get automatically disqualified for not following directions.

The directing work is hard to watch. (I'm sorry). It makes me claustrophobic.
You can at least do some shots with the camera outside showing you driving. The camera shots you did on your pitch is in one spot, inside the car.
The shots need to be inspiring and smooth. Yours is rough. Most of your shots are shooting from the back seat while driving. I doesn't develop the characters much. You should of at least mounted your camera on the car window or use duck tape.
This has a lot of potential, but I don't see any character development, due to directing. Sorry, but I had to review this.
