Filmmaking / Directing : How to Develop and Pitch a Romantic Comedy Feature Film by Sydney S

While romantic comedies continue to have broad audience appeal, creating a successful and marketable rom-com is more complex than it seems. Many filmmakers underestimate the genre, assuming it's simple or formulaic, which can lead to stories that feel flat, clichéd, or emotionally unconvincing. This session provides essential insight into both the creative and business aspects of crafting a rom-com that truly connects.

Often, filmmakers rely too heavily on tropes without adding fresh perspective, neglecting character depth in favor of plot mechanics, or misjudging the balance between humor and emotional stakes. Others may fail to consider the commercial viability of their projects—overlooking elements like casting appeal, timing in the market, or the importance of a solid pitch and package. This webinar addresses those missteps head-on, offering practical tools, examples, and guidance to avoid them and to develop romantic comedies that feel both timeless and timely.
