[Liz LaBrocca]

*CORC and the Creative Media Institute present Hampshire College's first 
PITCHFEST. This is your chance to pitch your idea for a TV show, feature 
film, web series, or documentary to TV producer and Hampshire alum Jason 
Cilo! Read on for details and share the attached flyer with anyone else 
who may be interested.*

*PITCHFEST 2014! Friday, Oct. 3rd*

Think you've got a can't-miss idea for a TV show, feature film, web 
series, or documentary film? Here's a chance to find out what at least 
one industry veteran thinks of your idea.

Hone your pitching skills in this risk-free environment first, then hit 
the big time and knock 'em dead with your polish and professionalism 
when it really counts.

Here's how it works:

Come to the Kiva at 12:45 p.m. SHARP (for a 1pm start) on Friday, 
October 3rd.

You'll have 5 minutes to pitch your idea, live and in person, to a panel 
that includes Hampshire grad and NYC TV Executive Jason Cilo 88F and 
Andrew Hart, Director of Hampshire's Creative Media Institute.


Be prepared to pitch your idea succinctly, verbally, and professionally 
for no longer than 5 minutes.
Why do you think your idea is good? Why do you think it's got commercial 
potential? What other things out there in the world is it similar to? 
Why are you the person to bring this project to fruition?

Remember, you're going to be doing this in front of a crowd. Being "good 
in the room" is an invaluable skill if you have creative ambitions that 
require other people to give you money to realize your vision. Be 
creative. Think outside the box. All the cliches apply. You've got 5 
minutes to use wisely. Pitches will be timed. There will be 10 minutes 
allotted for feedback on your pitch. This is all about positivity and 
about helping you think about projects with some real-world feedback. 
There are no bad ideas.
