Some notes to manage<br />

your expectations<br />

• The execs, producers and agents may<br />

shift around or even drop out.<br />

• We will continue to add new execs,<br />

producers and agents in the run up to<br />

the festival.<br />

• Sessions last 90 minutes and as a<br />

delegate you may choose JUST ONE.<br />

• We try and have a ‘delegate-to-exec’<br />

ratio of three-to-one in every session.<br />

Please note this is dependent on their<br />

availability. We do our best to make it<br />

even but it is not always possible.<br />

• Thursday and Friday will be intense<br />

and busy, Saturday less so, Sunday<br />

even less so.<br />

• If this is your first pitching experience,<br />

consider Saturday or Sunday as they<br />

will be less intense and you can get<br />

tips from other delegates.<br />

Hollywood Pitchfest via Skype<br />

Get to pitch – face to face over Skype – with<br />

Hollywood producers and execs. Sessions are 90<br />

minutes and you should get around 7 or 8 pitches<br />

in during that time. It’s the same rules as the<br />

Great British Pitchfest, only it will take place over<br />

Skype in the evenings of the festival.<br />
