Agathe knows perfectly what’s at stake. Her training led us to win the price of the best pitch for Series Mania Forum 2017. It was an essential part of our agreement with Fremantle then with Hulu and Arte. When Seriesmania decided to cancel the actual Lille event and switch to digital for the pitching forum we were all scattered around the world. Agathe trained us on Zoom, staged us to be as lively as possible. In those conditions, the results couldn’t have been better!

Agathe Berman guided me through several projets. Her sharp look helps me condense my words while making my thoughts clearer. She dives into your universe to get rid of the unnecessary and invigorate it. She is demanding and generous . . . and hilarious!

Who should I look? Where do I start? Is my body language okay? Is this too long?
Agathe acts as a particle accelerator and we are transformed within only a few days into real showmen and women, equipped with all the good language cues. For our English presentation at Serie Mania, in front of 400 decision makers of the industry, Agathe was like a part of a team for the making of our pitch and she didn’t let go until everything was perfect. It was invaluable for the rest of the writing and financing since the skills given to us for the pitch became a part of the common language between the producers, writers, directors and financers. Thank you, coach!

Give her the germ of an idea, she’ll give you a drop-dead-smart pitch. Agathe shows people how to dig into the core of their idea, find its unique emotional core, and gain confidence to sell it to others. Super-generous and super-creative with her ideas — she knows the film biz inside-out and gives people the skills to play in it successfully!

We are grateful to have had a chance to meet Agathe.
Odessa International Film Festival pitching sessions was our first ever experience, and we had very limited time to prepare. Nevertheless, we received very detailed, fresh and competitive remarks, that allowed us to stand out from the crowd. The most important to mention is that that day we found the best partner in crime. We look forward to work with Agathe again, and we gladly recommend other professionals to trust your guts, be creative, be brave, and go for it.
