Pitch Finale Party

**The Pitch Competition would like to congratulate our first place winners of the Pitch Finale: Nick Hurwitch and Jim Macak!

Second Place: Troy Miller

Third Place: Steve Chatterton

Special thanks also Terry Rossio, Bob Schultz and Drew Yanno for being fantastic judges and to all the judges and contestants in the pitch competitions - we couldn't have done it without you.**

Quick! This is the moment you've been waiting for...after advancing from the mini-pitch sessions, finalists have only 90 seconds to persuade the panel of industry judges that their idea is the next big thing. Come out to hear passionate pleas and persuasions as writers build up their ideas and possibly land the right connection to get their dream made.

Top two winners from each mini-pitch session will participate in the Pitch Finale Party on Saturday, October 24th. Winner will receive a 2009 Producers Badge and a pass for The Great American Pitchfest in Los Angeles. Top three places will win a Final Draft screenwriting software package.

“I was also a finalist in the pitch competition, having made it into the top five. It turns out Terry Rossio was a judge in that round. He really loved it. His assistant came up afterwards and said Terry was interested in reading the script and having me talk to him more about it.”

--Scott Richter, 2007 Teleplay Winner
