How does PitchFest work?
Ever hear of speed dating? The Great American PitchFest (as well as the Great Canadian PitchFest) is a similar concept, except the "dates" are actual pitch meetings where you can meet with:
- Agents & Managers
- Production Companies
- Studio Representatives
- Funding Organizations
- Private Investors
- Celebrity & Director Representatives
- Distributors & Sales Agents
- Broadcasters, Networks & Specialty Cable
Thousands of meetings happen in just a few hours.
Participants who have attended have:
- had scripts optioned
- signed with agents & managers for representation
- been hired as writers
- developed coproduction partnerships
- found writing and producing partners
- created a support network & friendships with other writers, producers, directors, and industry professionals
- made crucial industry contacts
- found work in the industry
The Great American PitchFest is the only event that:
- Offers free classes (no registration or hidden fees)
- Is operated by screenwriters just like you
- Wants you to have as many meetings as possible (one price)
- Maintains a 5:1 ratio of participants to executives
- Attendance is capped at 500 participants
Last year’s Great American PitchFest sold out. Register early. We turned more than 100 disappointed screenwriters away last year, rather than jeopardize the integrity of this event.
