Pitch Fest

Registration for our third annual PCFF Screenwriting Pitch Fest is now closed. We have 10 screenwriters who will pitch their scripts in the hopes of winning the $250 first prize.

Check it out. The pitch fest will be at 8 pm Saturday, July 19 in the Foundation Room, 333 N. Oregon, across from San Jacinto Plaza. Admission is free.

What’s a pitch fest?

It’s a forum for writers to sell, or pitch, their screenplay to a producer, or, in this case, our judge, filmmaker and Femme Frontera Filmmaker Showcase founder Angie Reza Tures.

You’ll get two minutes to sell your idea to her. The key is to make it compelling, to make her want to see it as a finished film. This is not a recitation of the plot. It’s a sales pitch.

Screenwriter and Border Theatre founder Austin Savage will host. Austin and Angie will offer constructive feedback after each pitch.

The $250 first prize will be awarded at the end of the pitch fest.

Competing for that first prize are:

Mark Amaro, El Paso

Scott Carrillo-Logan, Las Cruces

Jorge Gomez, El Paso

Naomi Gomez, Las Cruces

Christine Lozano, El Paso

Benjamin Moncada, El Paso

Jorge III Monsisvais, El Paso

Gabriel Philip Rivera, El Paso

Alecs Román, El Paso

Graciela Sarinana, El Paso

Good luck to this year’s contestants!

Thanks to the El Paso Film & Creative Industries for sponsoring this event.
