CINE PitchFest Presented by A&E: Be Original

Do you have an idea for A&E? Here’s your chance to Be Original. We’re giving twenty five producers the chance to pitch their dream projects to a panel of A&E and CINE industry executives in front of a live audience. At panels this fall in New York, Los Angeles, Austin, San Francisco and Washington, DC, five producers will have five minutes each to make their best pitch. Panelists will critique each pitch, and the winner of each session will get a formal pitch meeting with A&E executives — so impress them and you may have yourself a deal. At CINE, we honor unique storytelling, and that’s exactly what the A&E panelists are looking for: visceral, provocative, original storytelling that takes you outside of your comfort zone and onto the edge of your seat. Does that sound like your dream project? Apply today! All project applications are due by August 12, 2016. A processing fee is required per application, and each applicant will be provided with a complimentary ticket to any PitchFest event. See below for complete rules and terms of agreement. Please visit our website for more information.
