Whether you have a meeting with a studio head or you bump into an actor in an elevator, you need to be able to pitch your film well. Learn the art of the pitch in this intensive session where a dozen filmmakers pitch their project to a panel of industry experts - agents, producers, and production execs - who will give their unvarnished feedback on each pitch, saying what worked, what didn't, and why. Space is limited - advance registration is recommended.
New for 2009, Pitch Me! will be held at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel (101 Wilshire Boulevard). The AFM Shuttle runs every 8 minutes from the Loews Hotel and will drop you right in front of the Fairmont.
