Austin Film Festival

In addition to all of the perks of the producers badge, you’ll get TWO chances to participate in our esteemed pitch competition.

1. PITCH COMPETITION - 2 PITCHES

The Austin Film Festival and Conference is excited to announce the 6th Annual Pitch Competition this year. This is the opportunity of a lifetime as contestants are given only 90 seconds to give their best pitch to a panel of judges made up of agents, producers and managers in this fast-paced environment.

The top two finalists from each mini-session (8 sessions in all) will go on to participate in the Pitch Finale Party on Saturday, October 18th . The overall winner will receive a Producers Badge for the 2009 Festival.

Did you know that last year Scott Richter ’s pitch made it to the finals and is being now pursued as a feature by AFF 2007 judge Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Shrek, Déjà Vu, Aladdin)?
