Now celebrating 29 years, the Hollywood Pitch Festival is where you want to be if you have a screenplay, teleplay, book, web series, short film, true story, podcast or unscripted concept for a feature film, television series, streaming project or reality show you’d like to sell. It’s also the event to find representation, whether you are looking for an agent, manager or entertainment lawyer. More sales, options & agency signings; more A-list companies to pitch to and more time dedicated to pitching than any other event, the Hollywood Pitch Festival is one of the largest assemblies of Hollywood buyers & representatives – your chance to pitch your projects directly to your choice of buyers and reps who can jumpstart your career. (*1:1 ratio)

ONLINE SIGN-UP FOR MEETINGS.

Over the last 28 years, the HPF has been directly responsible for a bevy of script sales and options (including Born To Shop to Fox, The Meddlers to Warner Bros. and If Only to ABC), in addition to hundreds of agency and management signings. There is only one Hollywood Pitch Festival™ PITCHFEST™. Don’t be left out! Festivals 1-28 each sold out and space is extremely limited.
