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.

Doug MacGregor

“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. …

“The Hollywood Pitch Festival is the best in the entertainment industry and this is evidenced by the disbanding of the other pitchfests over the years. No pitchfest can compete. You always have the top producers in the business. Your pitchfest is a great place to …

Bryan Chesters

“Very excited to return to the Fade In pitchfest.  It was very beneficial and I was able to get my scripts read by a lot of different producers.  I think it helps when you have a lit manager who can follow up as well.  Grateful …

“Thank you for presenting such a professional, well-organized event. This was my third pitch event, and yours was by far the best. The caliber of your companies far exceeded the other events. Thanks again for a first-rate event. It was worth the “double jet-lag!”

Lizanne Southgate

“I was just asked if I wanted to write a series for one of the companies who attended! If I get that contract, you can bet I’ll be the most vocal champion of your pitchfest! Thanks.”

Mark Wryan

“I pitched my script to Trancas Films (Halloween) even though they were only looking for horror. I got a call in December, about a year and a half after submitting it to them, asking for an option. I had interest from a network a day …

K. Standley

“Fade In’s pitchfest is the only one I have attended. Why go anywhere else? I would recommend Fade In events to any writer looking to break in to the industry. The access you guys get us is magnificent and your staff is the best!”

Jennifer Goodson

“Having worked in the business, I was reluctant to take part. Afraid the level of contacts wouldn’t be there but I was very pleasantly surprised. Will definitely recommend your event to other writers who are on the cusp or need something to revive their careers …
