A cautionary pitching tale

I've written about pitching before - I'll never be as good at it as I should be - but I'm pretty good at handling my nerves, at relaxing in the room, at listening. Click here for more on that

This post is really a cautionary tale for those sitting across from us when we pitch. Here's great little film, chamber piece, eight minutes - well written, well acted, well executed. Worth watching!

"At a screenwriters' pitch event, a vengeful writer turns the tables on an arrogant studio executive, ordering him at gunpoint to pitch a good story or die. As the clock ticks down, the exec gets a lesson in truthfulness and storytelling, but will he learn in time to save himself?"
