Anyone else notice how freaking amazing the interviews we get with the pitchfest are? Just listened to the one from ICM and LOVED it.

They are fabulous - a huge addition to an already great service!
I haven't been on here for a month and missed the pitch fest date. Robert, what's the cost to join in the pitch fest ?
You can listen to them? Where do you find that?

And the Circle of Confusion's interview is AMAZING
I was not a participant in the pitch fest, but I have previously gotten exclusive interviews where the question was "What is your biggest pet peeve?" Were these of a similar format?

I LOVED the ICM one!!! It was probably the best advice I've ever heard. I was so happy to be able to hear it.
Preston- yes, but they go on from there- at varying lengths, expounding on what they like, look for, etc. I found the interviews from this last fest really inspiring, informative, and useful- the way Stage 32 is doing these pitch vests now is amazing- info before pitch on your particular session- interviews- and log lines to all industry participants: out-friggin'-standing!
Emi- agreed!
I never found those at all worthwhile, but I'm glad someone likes them.

ICM was good. I like the Paramount one too. Really cool perk.
Many thanks.
Joe, that's right. The story must "translates internationally". I discovered this through reading John Truby's book like four years ago. I remembered he said that myth/adventure is the number one story that translates. The secret is that you structure your main plot as myth, then mix it with other genres like horror, sci-fi, love or fantasyt. That's why a lot of Hollywood epic movies make money. Movies are expensive to make. It has to sell.
