Hollywood Hopefuls' Dreams Will Be Fulfilled - Or Shattered - At The 13th Annual Hollywood Pitch Festival™

200+ Hollywood Producers, Directors, Agents, Managers, Studio and Production Executives and Casting Directors to Gather Under One Roof to Meet with Hollywood Hopefuls

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2009 -- The problem: Many across the country and world have the hopes and dreams of making it big in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood - but have no access to the people in "The Business" that can make it happen. The solution: Fade In Magazine's 13th Annual Hollywood Pitch Festival™!

Taking place on August 1 and 2, 2009 in Los Angeles, The Hollywood Pitch Festival™ offers the chance of a lifetime to aspiring actors, writers, directors and producers who present themselves, and/or their projects, directly to those in "The Business" who can actually do something for their career! Akin to speed dating, each hopeful has seven minutes to convince the professional across the table that they've got what it takes to make it in Hollywood.

Two intense, fast-paced days establishing vital, heavyweight industry contacts, the 13th Annual Hollywood Pitch Festival™ provides an exclusive opportunity for the next generation of actors and filmmakers to get discovered. Over the last decade, the Hollywood Pitch Festival™ has garnered numerous script sales and options as well as hundreds of agency signings with management companies and major & boutique agencies and this year should be no different.

Often emulated, there is only one, original Hollywood Pitch Festival™ and it remains the largest of its kind - attracting aspirants, young and old, from all over the world. Two added features this year:

• Aspiring filmmakers are documenting their journey to the event. These short films will be shown at www.fadeinonline.com and Best Film, as chosen by a panel of Hollywood VIPs, will have the winner taking home $1,000. And…

• With the addition of casting directors, talent agents and talent managers this year, aspiring actors will get valuable face time in front of these professionals in hopes of landing representation or that vital, yet-to-be-cast role.
