CINE PitchFest Is Coming!

Coming to LAFS this fall: CINE PitchFest, presented by A&E!

CINE is giving five producers the chance of a lifetime — to pitch their dream projects to a panel of A&E and industry executives in front of a live audience.

Panelists will critique each presentation, and the winner of the session held at LAFS on November 2 will get a formal pitch meeting with A&E executives — so impress them and you may have yourself a deal.

At CINE, we honor unique storytelling, and that’s exactly what the A&E panelists are looking for: visceral, provocative, original storytelling that takes you outside of your comfort zone and onto the edge of your seat.

Students, check your school email for information about a special discount!

Submissions are due by August 12, 2016.

About Cine Pitchfest
Since 1957, CINE has honored and championed the best in film, television and digital media — displaying a particular knack for championing impressive rising talent. In 2015, we partnered with sponsor A&E to launch CINE PitchFest, a program that gives 25 emerging producers the opportunity to pitch their dream projects to a panel of network reps, agents, filmmakers and A&E executives. At sessions in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin and Washington, DC, emerging producers get five minutes each to make their best pitch. Each panel critiques the presentations — Shark Tank -style — and selects a winning producer for each session, who receives a formal pitch meeting with A&E executives. Each panel is held in front of a live audience of local filmmakers and students — all getting a crash course in how to pitch a project. A post-panel Q&A allows students to engage with panelists and participants.
