“I picked up a manager from pitching at your event and they are doing all my emailing now to the people who requested.”

“The lineup was the best I recall — lots of big producers who get movies made. This is access I would not otherwise have (from Illinois). Great job, FADE IN.”

“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. …

“Everything was fabulous. We appreciate you managing [all the meetings] and we look forward to hearing from a handful of the wonderful people. Thank you.”

“Truly a top-notch pitch festival, which is the only one of these kind of events that I will attend.”

“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!”

“Really enjoyed the 28th event and learned a lot!”

“As a writer from Ohio, it is difficult 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. I met with twenty …

“Thank you for my TV Reality Series [deal] with Leverage.”

“Not sure if I told you this but myself and Sheryl Petersen signed Timothy Armstrong from the pitchfest right before the break.”

“HPF is the best opportunity you’ll have to pitch someone in Hollywood who’s actually looking for material. Plus, the people at HPF are supportive and patient. It’s a great investment in yourself.”

“Fade In is currently the best run event, offering the most value for the cost, of all events of this type being offered. The facilitators of the event were exceptional people doing an exceptional job. They were always available to answer questions, did not talk down …

“The Fade In pitchfest is an extraordinary event. I love attending it and meeting the writers and executives. The staff is exceptional and I appreciate the patience and attention they show the writers in spite of the fact that there are so many of us. …
