Do ya got a film idea ya wanna pitch and try to sell' Got no connections'

Well folks, Harry here... and I figure I finally got one possible answer to a question I get daily. The question usually revolves around someone that has a script/idea/brother's uncle's step-daughter's newborn's idea for.... THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE.... but they only have one problem. They live, where they consider to be, the middle of nowhere. Can't get an agent... don't know how to begin. Noone will look at my stuff! etc etc etc...

Now, I'm not going to pretend to have THE answers to your problem. Maybe the idea just sucks. Maybe you're an undiscovered genius with bad luck so far. But I've been hearing about something going on up at SUNDANCE this year that kind of gives me pause.

It's called the "Worldwide Pitch Festival" and it's a bit of a tadoo put on by them "www.showbizdata.com/pitchfest" Basically, it's this thing where you submit a pitch, and set up an auction where people will then bid for your pitch/idea/project. This doesn't mean that Bill Mechanic will pony up $8 million for your brilliance... but who knows... It might be somebody's 'chance'. At the very least it sounds kinda cool. You might go check this out. If this thing works out... it'll explode by next year.... Best of luck to yous fellas with ideas!
