Filmmaking / Directing : Has anyone paid to Pitch on Stage 32? by Paul Bestolarides

I've wondered this myself. I want to pitch the few screenplays I have done, but I'm concerned about paying for something that may not pay off.

Hi guys, I've paid in the past and I have one coming up next week. It's very useful. You get insight from folks in the industry that you're trying to break into.

Paul Bestolarides if they like your project, they will figure out how to work with you on it. Best case, they love it and it moves ahead. Worst case they give you fantastic feedback to impove.

All the best guys.

Hi Paul Bestolarides ! the pitching sessions are amazing. It's the most affordable option to get your idea to the right people, and if they like your pitch your script gets requested for a read. I would highly encourage it, as I've tried them myself and it has been a great experience :)

I did the written pitch. They passed, but the feedback was helpful. Some of it was actionable, some not.

The one thing that really bothered me was the reader said "please have someone look this over for spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes."

THEY WERE NOT. I teach English, proofread it myself, AND had someone else look at it. After the notes, I double checked. NO MISTAKES. Oh well.

I haven't done one but I'm keeping an eye out for upcoming pitch sessions as I'd like to give it a go. They go so quickly though, so my questions around this would be:

Is the written pitch as good as the virtual pitch?

Without the chance to talk, ask/answer questions, and make a connection, is the written pitch is less likely to result in a script request?
