When you’re pitching — whether it’s on studio IP or your own original idea — what sets you apart is your take. But what does that actually mean?
This week, Jac Schaeffer (WandaVision, Agatha All Along) breaks it down. For Jac, a great take starts with the emotional core — “what is the deep down” that connects you to the material. From there, it’s about delivering a pitch only you could give: not necessarily linear or formulaic, but full of energy, essence, and personal vision.
We talk about how far is too far from the IP, how to navigate studio mandates, and how to protect your voice in rooms full of competing takes.
🎬 Jac’s first feature, TiMER, is now available to stream for free on Tubi!
