MALIBU FIRE: THE TOO-LONG, MANY FACETED BUT WAY COOL PITCH DECK

Guy Kawasaki is a Silicon Valley marketing pioneer, author, and venture capitalist widely known as the father of modern "technology evangelism."He was an early promoter of the Apple MacIntosh, Canva and projects that went off like a rocket. Kawasaki says a pitch deck should be 10/20/30 and that is no more than 10 images, no longer than 20 minutes and no font smaller than 30.

Others say Hollywood is allergic to the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Well Malibu Fire is a many-layered idea for a streaming, episodic show, so this pitch deck breaks all of those rules.
This Pitch Deck was put together with images produced by Chat GPT and the layout was done with Claude AI. Very very quickly.
So apologies if the length and the tech offends thee, but Malibu Fire is a many-faceted idea for an episodic streaming series that will be insanely popular if done right.

This story can be told a hundred different ways, but this Pitch Deck lays out many of the story facets, angles, places, faces and situations available along the 21 Miles of Scenic Beauty.

Thanks for reading the lot.
