Regular
scriptchat members have often heard me sing my praises for the Great American Pitchfest. Not
only do I have deep love for its creative team, Signe Olynyk and Bob Schultz, but also
for the event itself. In my personal experience of pitching, it is indeed
one of the most well run events and opportunities a screenwriter has to
access producers, agents and managers.
Great American PitchFest is a weekend event on June 1st
to 3rd, and will be held at the Burbank Marriott Hotel & Convention Center.
Saturday is
a full day of free classes,
and anyone who wishes to attend is welcome, no strings attached. One of
the classes is one I’m presenting with RB Botto of Stage 32 called Breaking in Outside of Hollywood. I’ll also be interviewing Doug Richardson on stage Saturday afternoon. Private consultation sessions are also available with a variety of
industry professionals.
Saturday
night at 8pm-ish, we’ll have a Scriptchat Meetup in the bar of the Marriott,
The Daily Grill. Come have a non-virtual drink with us!
Sunday is
the legendary pitchfest with over 100 production companies, agents, managers,
and studio execs hearing pitches. Most writers meet with an average of 20
companies. CLICK HERE
for a list participating companies. Don’t miss the cocktail party
immediately following (included in your ticket). Some of the best relationships
are formed over a glass of tequila. Go figure.
If you have any questions, please
either email info@pitchfest.com.
The tickets
always sell out, so I urge you to buy yours before they’re gone. Tickets
are available for $250 on the website.... BUT... for Scriptchat screenwriters, there's a $50 DISCOUNT!!!!! GET YOUR TICKET HERE TO GET THE DISCOUNT
But no
matter what, make sure you mark it in your calendars to come on out for the
free classes – they’re all excellent. Come see me on Saturday
afternoon for my class or stop by the pitching tables and say hi to Zac Sanford who will be hearing
pitches with Jamie Livingston at
his side. We hope to see you there!
