The Hollywood Pitch

February 19 11:00 AM

Who: Steeltown Film Factory

What: This workshop, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh, takes place in a simulated office setting and lets the 10 quarter-finalists who have submitted the best short scripts get a sense of what it is like to “take a meeting” and pitch their ideas in Hollywood. Panelists give the quarter-finalists feedback from their own unique point of view. Learn for yourself about how to turn your idea into a viable screenplay at this panel as well.

*This year's panel includes Two and a Half Men director and Animal House star Jamie Widdoes, producer of MTV's Made and CMT's Working Class Bob Kusbit, Sony Classics executive Lauren Elmer, and Reader's Unlimited President Asher Garfinkel.  Now is your chance to get advice from these industry top professionals, so reserve your seats now, before we sell out!

Where: University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts Auditorium

When: Saturday February 19, 2011 from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM

*Light refreshments will be served when the doors open at 10:30AM and the panel will begin at 11:00AM
