Inside The Pitch
The Writers' Retreat: Low Wood Bay
I think I was probably feeling nervous as the train pulled into Windermere station. I had been taking baby steps as a filmmaker - shooting shorts with friends for fun, entering them into competitions, just enjoying the buzz of creating. But now The Pitch had selected my idea, and I was heading to Low Wood Bay Hotel in the Lake District for a “Writers’ Retreat”. I felt waaaay out of my depth and already intimidated by the prospect of being surrounded by Proper Writers, never mind the Industry Titans who would be critiquing my story. What was I doing here?
