The 14th Annual Hollywood Power Pitchfest is one day of pitch classes, pitch coaching, agency submissions and networking and one full nine-hour day of one-on-one pitch meetings with Hollywood’s most prominent studios, production companies and talent agencies. Learn every aspect of pitching and taking meetings with executives and agents. A two-day event where you can land representation, option or sell your idea, teleplay, screenplay or novel and make some of the most important industry contacts of your career.

Over 100 of the Industry's top companies under one roof to meet with and pitch your script, book, or story idea to in one-one-one pitch meetings. How does it work? As an attendee, you will receive a master list of studio and development executives, producers, agents and managers who will be in attendance one week before the event. This list includes specifically what kinds of material each company/studio/agency is currently looking to produce or represent. From this list, you will then choose which companies you'd like to meet with and schedule appointment times. Each meeting is 7 minutes in length.

The 14th Annual Hollywood Power Pitchfest is also a great opportunity to present your work to agents and managers. As an attendee, you are eligible to submit the first act (approx. 30 pages) of one script or one filmed short to each agent and manager who will be there on Saturday. This has proven to be a very successful way for writers to find representation with closed-door agencies and management companies.

Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity. If you’re serious about a career in the entertainment industry -- attend this ultimate writers weekend.

WHAT PAST ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT
THEIR EXPERIENCES AT THE CONFERENCE:

“I’m so impressed with the Fade In bunch. The festival was extremely well-organized and run! (I can’t imagine having to deal with a few hundred anxious writers!) Eight people requested my screenplay and twelve others wanted my contact info... And it wouldn’t have happened without you and your hard-working staff!” -Jamison Spittler

"I got my script optioned by a producer who is actively seeking to package it with talent. That's all I can ask for. I now have someone who is well connected in the business, getting it read by A-list talent, trying to get it sold. And that's why I attended the Fade In Pitchfest. So I got what I wanted." -Doug MacGregor

"I just wanted to thank you for the stellar event. Screenwriters are notoriously needy, but you were gracious and totally professional. We can all take our cues from you if we're really going to make it as filmmakers." -Katharine J. Yee

“Congratulations to all of you who worked on the 7th conference and pitchfest! Good job! Given what needed pulling together, you were wonderful. I was impressed with the caliber and the variety of industry professionals you managed to convene. A class act! Pat yourselves on the back, OK?” -Rosalie Maggio

“Thank you for hosting such an awesome event. I learned, I pitched, and I enjoyed! As if that wasn't enough, the six major agency spec submissions you set up was worth the admission fee alone! Double kudos!” -Melvin G. Smith

“Thank you for a wonderful weekend. You kept everything moving in a way that I felt guided rather than herded. You created space for this to happen. You also dealt with [a lot of] nervous writers gracefully and graciously. You made us laugh and calmed us down considerably. Thanks for that! As a neophyte screenwriter, I was apprehensive about this whole process. The [filmmaker] on Saturday provided that last minute input I needed to make better pitches. Thanks! I'll see you at the next one - for sure!” -Karen B. Christensen

“If you’ve ever dreamed of being in a whirlwind of entertainment professionals - that’s what attending the Pitch Festival was like for my partner and I. We met more people in one weekend than we could’ve in the three years we’ve been trying. Our project “Born to Shop” sold to Fox through a producer we’d met and we signed with a William Morris agent - all as a result of the festival! We’ve been working non-stop since.” -A. Neal

“My good fortune at Pitch Fest was doubled - I found great representation and I sold a pitch ("If Only") to two writer-producers, who set up the project with me attached as the writer! Thanks for helping lay the groundwork for what I hope will be a long and fruitful career.” -Christina Welsh (writer, "If Only" which aired on ABC in 2006)

"As soon as I saw the ad, I knew I had to be there...a two day marathon of pitching to agents, managers and production companies. Altogether I was able to meet with folks from 21 companies. Hours of phone calls and tons of query letters can't compare to the interest and number of scripts requested in those two days. Hats off to Fade In: for opening the industry doors a bit wider!" -A. Bowers

“I felt engaged from start to finish. And, most importantly, gained a great deal from it both creatively and on a practical level. I pitched my script and generated interest from Trimark, Outlaw Prods, and MPCA. Congratulations on putting together such a splendid weekend. It obviously comes from the heart.” -V. Hardy

“What an experience! A good chunk of the industry made for a sense of community I never thought I’d see in one place at one time. My partner and I covered over 25 meetings, pitching 4 scripts. It was encouraging to be asked for 12 synopses. But the real success was actually doing the pitches. I feel better prepared to get my work out. I can’t thank you too much or compliment you enough. Your efforts went beyond professional! Thank you.” -Malissa Daniel

“As a writer from Ohio, far from the industry, it is difficult at best to coordinate meetings with production professionals who will give their undivided attention. I’d like to thank you for having the foresight to develop the idea and the stamina for producing a great weekend. In a day and a half I met with twenty executives and got fourteen positive responses. Regardless of what happens, I know there would be no possible way I would have had the ability to meet with so many people in such a short amount of time. This conference allowed me that opportunity. Thank you.” -L. Grossman
