Inside the pitch decks
Slide 02The daughter’s point of view
We meet the father through his daughter’s scrapbook. Her faith in him gives the action on the next page a personal stake.
Slide 03The logline
The father is in custody. His daughter needs a kidney transplant. Now the reader understands why he would risk an escape.
Slide 10The rules of the world
A camera flash makes an entity visible. A mercury bead helps Diya detect possession. Giving each object a rule shows how a case can unfold on screen.
Slide 17The lighting
Family scenes use warm window light and a handheld camera. When an entity enters, the palette cools and the camera holds still. The director’s choices are visible on one page.
Slide 02The series format
The deck sets out the proposed format alongside the food and regions the series would explore.
Slide 04The itinerary
Sorano’s local dishes and Liguria’s coastal cooking give the reader two distinct stops to imagine filming.
A child’s scrapbook can introduce a thriller. Two lighting setups can explain a horror series. We work from your treatment to choose the pages, images and teaser that tell your story to a producer.

Our pitch process
How we build
the pitch.
Read the treatment
We look for the decision at the heart of the story. Together we agree who will read the pitch, what you want them to do, and which materials the conversation calls for.
Write the deck
We shape the logline, character arcs and synopsis into a reading order. For a series, we show what drives the next episode. You review the story on the page before we design it.
Find the images
We establish a visual direction and lay out the slides. If a teaser is part of the brief, we choose a scene that shows what the writing alone can’t convey.
Prepare the handoff
We read the package in meeting order with you. We check that the deck, poster and moving sample tell the same story, then prepare the editions agreed for your intended readers.
Why Pixel Bakers
Written and built by filmmakers.
Our team’s development experience includes a script selected by NFDC and work with Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam. At Pixel Bakers, our writers, directors, editors and VFX artists decide together which parts of a treatment belong on a slide and which need a shot.
For our original series Apsara, we followed Sibi’s glance from a rooftop storyboard into an AI sequence test. A reader can see how the encounter plays, alongside the treatment and artwork.

What will you take to the meeting?
The teaser or trailer
An AI sequence can show how your story moves, sounds and feels. We choose the scene and length with you.
The poster
One image that carries the title and tone into a meeting or follow-up. The choice of image follows the treatment.
Original in development / Public sample
The Apsara pitch.
Treatment / Scene sample
A meeting on the roof
Sibi looks up. A celestial woman descends towards him. We stay with his reaction long enough to understand that this encounter has caught him unprepared.
A short adaptation for this sample.
Project deck / World
Devaloka
A shy college student and a visitor from this world are bound together by an accidental ritual.
The moving sample
The rooftop sequence test lets a reader see how Sibi’s eyeline and Apsara’s arrival cut together.
ApsaraThe poster
One encounter carries the image. The distance between Sibi and Apsara gives the reader a first impression of their relationship.
What to bring
Start with a treatment.
We need at least a written treatment to begin. In your first enquiry, describe what you have and who the pitch is for.
Tell us about your project- Your story
- A treatment covering the premise, main characters and how the story unfolds. If you already have a script or deck, tell us how far along it is.
- Your reader
- The intended producer, studio or platform, if known. Include the format, language and what you hope the reader will do next.
- Your scope
- Which materials you need, any meeting or submission date, and what artwork already exists. We quote once we’ve agreed the scope.
A few useful answers
Before
we begin.
What do I need to get started?
At least a treatment. Tell us the story’s current stage, its intended format and who you want to present it to. We will discuss what needs developing before the materials are created.
What is included in a pitch package?
The ideal package includes a short introduction deck, a full project deck, versions tailored to particular platforms, an AI teaser or trailer, and a poster. The actual combination is agreed for your project.
Why have different versions of the deck?
The introduction deck opens the conversation. The full deck explains the project in more depth. Platform-tailored versions shape the presentation for a particular audience and discussion.
Can you make the film as well?
Yes, we can discuss full AI or hybrid production as a separately defined scope. Preparing a pitch package and producing the film are different stages, and we agree what the project needs next.
Will you approach platforms for me?
Platform outreach is optional and considered case by case. It is discussed separately from the presentation package and does not guarantee that a platform will commission the project.
How much does a pitch package cost?
Packages are quote-based. The material you already have, deck variants, teaser or trailer scope, poster work and agreed review process determine the work involved.
