Pitch Decks That Get Films Greenlit

Before the cameras roll, someone has to say yes.
And in today’s film landscape, that “yes” often starts with a pitch deck. A great deck can secure funding, talent, and distribution. A bad one? It gets closed after the first slide.

Here’s what sets the good ones apart - and how we approach them at The Paperview.

A Hook, Not Just a Summary

Most decks start by listing facts. The best ones open like a trailer. We help filmmakers lead with feeling - what makes this story essential, urgent, or unforgettable? A strong emotional hook sets the tone and keeps people reading.

A Clear, Confident Vision

It’s not enough to say what your film is about. You have to show how it looks, feels, and moves. We use moodboards, reference stills, and original design to convey tone - because if your deck doesn’t look like a film, no one will imagine it is one.

World, Characters, and Arc

We structure decks like story journeys. Who are the characters? What drives them? What’s the arc of the plot - and why now? We keep it sharp and cinematic, never overwritten.

Market Awareness Without Losing Personality

Yes, buyers want originality. But they also want clarity. We position each project within its genre and market without sounding like we’re checking boxes.

Designed to Be Read and Remembered

Legibility matters. So does rhythm. We design decks that are both beautiful and easy to skim - because execs are busy, and clarity sells.

You get one shot to make someone care. Let’s make it count.
We’ve helped projects land meetings, funding, and festival attention. Whether you're pitching a lo-fi indie or high-concept feature, we can help shape the deck that gets you to greenlight.
