Hey Nur,<br><br>Since getting one of your treatments I’ve managed to successfully pitch and produce a project for a Belgian car sharing company. We traveled in the south of France for 13 days as part of it. Like you say, marrying your reality to your vision really is the key to making pitches work. I really admire how generously you share such valuable advice here.<br><br>I’m mainly a videographer and beginner DoP, and your approach has genuinely inspired me to enjoy the process of making treatments, something I didn’t expect!<br><br>Thanks a lot and keep it up<br>Diego
