Great American Pitchfest Transcript May 1, 2011


Scriptchat TOPIC: Great American Pitchfest June 4 and 5, 2011

Great American Pitchfest is indeed a favorite of the scriptchat treefort, no denying that. Creators Signe Olynyk @Screenwriter12 and Bob Schultz @PitchfestBob guested to help answer questions about the event and share the big news that Robert McKee will be giving an all-day lecture on Saturday, June 4th.  But have no fear, their free classes are still available all day Saturday, whether you attend the pitch sessions on Sunday or not. Read on and learn all the ins and outs. Remember, 3 out of the 5 treefort members will be there this year! We’d love to see scriptchat writers represented on the lines! Enjoy! @jeannevb



@PitchfestBob: Hello, Scriptchatters! I'm early, but happy to take any questions about GAPF or pitching in general or whatever. #scriptchat #scriptchat

@TyLeisher: @pitchfestbob Is it customary or has anyone ever brought in an index-card board to a pitch? Do you think it helps or hinders? #scriptchat
May 1, 2011, 11:52 pm           



 
@PitchfestBob: @TyLeisher Any notes are cards can be a crutch, but a crutch is important if you have a bum leg. If you can pitch w/out it... #scriptchat
May 1, 2011, 11:54 pm           



 
@PitchfestBob: @TyLeisher ... you should do so. It can distract execs, and it can hide your personality, which is as important as your script. #scriptchat
May 1, 2011, 11:55 pm           



 
@TyLeisher: @PitchfestBob Gotcha :) How often will execs accept pitch meetings with an unknown writer outside of GAPF? Is it an agent thing? #scriptchat
May 1, 2011, 11:56 pm           



 
@TyLeisher: @PitchfestBob Sorry if I'm bombarding you with Q's :P I cant stay all night so Im getting my stuff in asap #scriptchat

@JoshKEvans: @jeannevb @Screenwriter12 It's sad that many companies today label things free when they aren't. Ruins it for the truthsayers. #scriptchat

@PitchfestBob: @IngridElkner The truth is you need to play to your strengths, but there is no secret formula. Some gimmicks work. Some don't. #scriptchat

@zacsanford2: If you do attend for some of the free pitch classes, attend more than one, as the best pitch is a combo of the mentors. #scriptchat

@jeannevb: @lmcnelly allow me to ponder that. In the middle of scriptchat :)
May 2, 2011, 12:12 am           



 
@PitchfestBob: @IngridElkner And I recommend talking about themes, but not in your initial pitch. Bring it up as the conversation progresses. #scriptchat
May 2, 2011, 12:13 am           



 
@JoshKEvans: @jeannevb @zacsanford2 @Screenwriter12 It might involve at least one toking session in the backroom :) #scriptchat

@PitchfestBob: @GREGBIELA ... we just ask ourselves: We're writers. What would we like. Now, 10 pitchfests later, the strategy seems to work. #scriptchat
May 2, 2011, 12:15 am           



 
@zacsanford2: I've been pitched to while standing at a urinal. Please do not do that. Totally uncomfortable. @jeannevb @sdarancette #scriptchat

@Screenwriter12: It might sound like you are in line all day, but for every 3-4 people who register, we invite another company to hear pitches. #scriptchat
