Pitch Your Screenplay to Hollywood Bigwigs
It's hard to get your screenplay in the hands of the decision-makers, but the Internet has made the world that much smaller. Instead of the five-minute elevator pitch, you can submit yours via Facebook using the Vpype Live Broadcaster app. Vpype is sponsoring the contest, which requires you to join the Hollywood Vpype Pitch Contest group on Facebook, add its application, and then record your five-minute pitch. You can submit as many as you want separately. The contest runs until April 15, 2010.
Some of the judges reviewing your pitch include Tony Safford, the Executive Vice President of Worldwide Acquisitions for 20th Century Fox; Ross Siegel, the Director of Creative Affairs for MGM; and Christopher Lockhart, the story editor at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
According to the official contest rules, "The top ten finalists will pitch live to our panel of A List industry professionals in the given five minute time allowance. Not only will the finalists have the opportunity to pitch their projects, but they’ll also receive valuable feedback from the judges!"
Do you think that this has the potential to become a 21st century version of Project Greenlight? Screenplay writers, will you be submitting your pitches via Vpype? Let us know in the comments! Read the official contest rules on the contest blog.
