Pitch in Time

The UK Screenwriters Festival is holding a "Pitch in Time" competition in association with Channel 4's More Talent.

To enter, write a pitch for a feature film in 25 words or less, and on a separate page expand the synopsis to 150 words and email it to the organisers (information on the website).

Ten writers will be chosen to appear at the live pitching event at the Festival, and will receive a free ticket to the entire festival, as well as a personal coaching session from pitching session agent Julian Friedmann. All the pitchers will get feedback on their pitch, and three pitchers will be selected as winners. They will then get the chance to talk directly with Film4 executives about their ideas.

Closing Date for entries is midnight Friday 29th February 2008, and the short-listed winners will be informed the week of Monday 17th March 2008.
