Austin Film Festival

This October, the Austin Film Festival celebrates the sixth year of the Pitch Competition. This fun competition allows participants to pitch their idea in 90 seconds to an agent, producer or manager.  Top two winners from each mini-session will participate in the Pitch Finale Party on Saturday, October 18th. Winner will receive a 2009 Producers Badge and a pass for The Great American Pitchfest in Los Angeles, and top three places will win a Final Draft screenwriting software package.

"Austin Film Festival's pitch competition is an amazing opportunity to impress some of our industry's top professionals with your creative material.  And if you knock the ball out of the park, doors can open for you in a major way."

-Scott Richter
