Delegate Guidebook

PITCHFEST 2017
What is it?
An opportunity to meet and chat
with influential agents and active
producers. The people who have the
power to make your projects happen.
If you are successful in booking you
have the opportunity to pitch your project
to agents, producers and commissioners
in ONE of our 90 minute, limited pitching
sessions. This means face-to-face time
with the very people who could launch
your career, option your script or offer
insight into how to improve your pitching
techniques.
Who can you expect to be
present?
The Great British PitchFest features
the cream of the British film industry, as
well as hungry and emerging producers
looking for new relationships. You can
find a full list of execs, producers and
agents on the website.
On the day of your pitch...
• Turn up ON TIME to your pitching
session.
• There will be around 10-14 execs,
producers or agents present for you to
pitch to.
• There will be around 30 delegates
pitching.
• The session lasts 90 minutes.
• Pitches rotate every five minutes, so
make those minutes matter.
• There will be a queue for each pitchee,
so choose who you want to pitch to
and get in line.
• Once you have pitched, choose who
you want to pitch next and get in line.
• Do the maths, you will get between
3 and 8 pitches depending on which
queues you join. Be tactical.
• Get there early to be first in line!
• After each session, if a pitchee wants
to discuss your project further, it’s up to
you to get contact details and follow
up. We will not supply their contact
details later – so please don’t ask!
