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.

“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 …

“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.”

H. Bordogna

“As soon as I saw the ad, I knew I had to be there – a weekend marathon pitching to agents, managers and production companies. I met with 21 companies. Tons of query letters can’t compare to the number of scripts requested. Hats off to …

“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 …

“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 had over 25 meetings, pitching 4 scripts. But the real success was actually doing the …
