MERRY PITCHMAS! Hollywood calls it "the Holiday Movie". This genre is Big Business. Christmas movies roll out like clockwork each year as cinemas and TV platforms scramble to fill their schedules with festive fodder. They generate a lot of royalty cheques for screenwriters! They're not all mistletoe and schmaltz, either. Genre mash-ups are common - combining horror, action-adventure, fantasy, comedy etc. along with the twinkly lights and reindeer. WANT TO PITCH YOUR FESTIVE MOVIE IDEA? GET LIVE FEEDBACK FROM OUR SPECIAL GUEST & THE EUROSCRIPT TEAM PLUS A PRIZE FOR THE WINNER We kick off the evening with a live 90 SECOND PITCHING COMPETITION Three writers will deliver a 90-second "elevator pitch" for an original FESTIVE film, TV or radio project and receive instant feedback from our guest speaker and the Euroscript team. TO APPLY FOR A SLOT Please send a synopsis (1 page max) to the link below by 20 November. After the evening's discussion there will be Q&A with the guest, followed by networking in the bar. DATE: Monday 24 November TIME: 7pm start VENUE: The Cinema Bar Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel 20 Warwick Street London W1B 5NF TICKETS: £10 Numbers are strictly limited and there will be no tickets on the door so please book in advance |
