Toronto Pitching Fest (Live Ammunition) Coming April 2008

This is it! Your chance to pitch your movie idea directly to a panel of top Canadian film executives. These are the people who matter. They are the people who buy scripts - they are the people who decide what will be made and what won't. Your chance to pitch your movie idea to the people who can get it in cinemas in this intense emotionally charged event.


Date: Tuesday 29 April 2008
Venue: Revival Bar on College St.
Price: FREE TO RAINDANCE MEMBERS

About Live!Ammunition!

To pitch, just drop a fiver in the hat, and the floor is yours. You have two minutes to convince the panellist to read your script or make your film. They can and will gong you off if you are boring -- but they must give you two good reasons why.


›› Don't read from cards. It destroys eye contact
›› Sell the sizzle, not the steak
›› Be brief, don't be boring
›› Be entertaining

Improve your pitching skills and get instant feedback. Some pitches have gone into production these include Meet The Parents (1994), 51st State (1995), Siamese Cop (1996) and White Bhaji (2001).




It's a fun, emotionally charged event designed to hone pitching skills, and no one ever knows what is going to happen. In previous events, panelists such as Steve Wooley, Norma Heymen and Mathew Vaughan have found projects they are now working on.

FEEDBACK

"A movie moment that has everything: real-life passion, eye-popping tension and a newcomer winning through against all the odds."
