I'll be attending a film fest for the first time this year (GI Film Fest) and I was wondering if folks can share some networking tips for a writer. I don't plan on shooting my own scripts, but I'd like to make connections with a director, producer, agent, whomever I meet. I figure I just need to have my elevator pitches down and be conversational about what I'm looking for. I just want to feel like I accomplished something other than having seen some great indies. Any tips or things to expect or be prepared for would help. And do I really need business cards?

Relax. If you are at ease with yourself, you will seem to confident. So just relax. And have FUN!

Let your passion come to the surface. It's your friend. Your passion and expertise about your project will give you the confidence you need to persuade others. Just make sure it's a conversation instead of a spiel.
You're right. I am extremely passionate about my script and I could talk about it for days. I totally agree with you on making it conversational and casual.
