The first live pitching contest on Facebook! Pitch directly to studio executives, agents, producers and managers!
FACEBOOK is the venue. All you need to do is bring your best ideas and polished pitches — this is your chance to gain representation, sell your idea and make career-changing contacts!
HOW IT WORKS!
You submit a five-minute pitch using the Facebook Broadcasting Application VPYPE. Industry professionals will watch the submissions and carefully choose 100 Semi Finalists based on originality of idea, commercial viability, presentation and appeal! From the Top 100, our judges will chose TEN FINALISTS.
Those talented and lucky ten finalists will be posted on the Hollywood Pitch Contest Facebook Page and instructed on their designated time for the Hollywood Pitch Contest Live Video Broadcasting Event on May 1st 2010!
The top ten finalists will pitch live to our panel of A List industry professionals in the given five minute time allowance. Not only will the finalists have the opportunity to pitch their projects, but they’ll also receive valuable feedback from the judges! The judges will then review and decide on the winner, who will be announced on May 3rd 2010 at 6pm, Pacific Standard Time!
