"I got my script optioned by a producer who is actively seeking to package it with talent. That's all I can ask for. I now have someone who is well connected in the business, getting it read by A-list talent, trying to get it sold. And that's why I attended the Fade In Pitchfest. So I got what I wanted." -Doug MacGregor

"I've just optioned my first screenplay, "Minute Man," to the Kaufman Company! I even got an agent as a result of my meetings! Thank you so much for providing the vehicle that has launched my writing career!" -Curtis Dale

"Thank you all for a well-organized and well-executed PitchFest event. As a Hollywood outsider (way outside), I had no idea what to expect from the weekend. I knew I had a unique story and could bring a new and different voice to the industry professionals in attendance. But, still, I did not know exactly what kind of reaction I would get from the pros. Although I still do not know what results others got, I must say that I am delighted. I pitched my political thriller to a total of 19 organizations. Nine of those asked for the screenplay on the spot. Several said they loved the concept but couldn't run with it for one reason or another. All were extremely encouraging. Over the past week, three other organizations have requested copies. In addition, I got a call from a producer on Sunday afternoon -- less than a week after the event ended. I realize that you guys do this stuff all of the time so you might not fully realize how important PitchFest is to writers -- both inside and outside of Hollywood. Keep up the good work. " -Joe M. Moore

"Congratulations and thank you! You ran a smooth and superb pitch festival. It was professional and productive. Everyone did a great job. I will recommend your events to all my writer friends." -Jeanne Tognetti

"My very great thanks to you ALL for this past weekend’s Pitchfest. It was my second Pitchfest, and I’ve really come to appreciate all the details and hard work you put into these events. I was able to pitch to several big studios and no matter what happens, I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity." -Katharine J. Yee

“Congratulations to all of you who worked on the conference and pitchfest! Good job! Given what needed pulling together, you were wonderful. I was impressed with the caliber and the variety of industry professionals you managed to convene. A class act! Pat yourselves on the back, OK?” -Rosalie Maggio

"As a writer who has attended your Pitchfest for several years in a row, I'm constantly amazed by how many new companies you always have from year to year. In fact, this year I almost didn't attend, feeling that there can't possibly be many more companies left to meet. Then the exec list arrives and additions are made, and with 140 companies total, there's a grand total of fifteen execs I don't need to meet. Fifteen! I do 25-35 pitches each year (using the open meeting line to the max) and that's it! Amazing! I don't know how you do it, but you guys are the best pitch-bang for the buck out there." -Michael Buhlman

“Thank you for hosting such an awesome event. I learned, I pitched, and I enjoyed! As if that wasn't enough, the six major agency spec submissions you set up was worth the admission fee alone! Double kudos!” -Melvin G. Smith

“Thank you for a wonderful weekend. You kept everything moving in a way that I felt guided rather than herded. You created space for this to happen. You also dealt with [a lot of] nervous writers gracefully and graciously. You made us laugh and calmed us down considerably. Thanks for that! As a neophyte screenwriter, I was apprehensive about this whole process. The [filmmaker] on Saturday provided that last minute input I needed to make better pitches. Thanks! I'll see you at the next one - for sure!” -Karen B. Christensen

“If you’ve ever dreamed of being in a whirlwind of entertainment professionals - that’s what attending the Pitch Festival was like for my partner and I. We met more people in one weekend than we could’ve in the three years we’ve been trying. Our project “Born to Shop” sold to Fox through a producer we’d met and we signed with a William Morris agent - all as a result of the festival! We’ve been working non-stop since.” -A. Neal

“My good fortune at Pitch Fest was doubled - I found great representation and I sold a pitch ("If Only") to two writer-producers, who set up the project with me attached as the writer! Thanks for helping lay the groundwork for what I hope will be a long and fruitful career.” -Christina Welsh (writer, "If Only" which aired on ABC in 2006)

"As soon as I saw the ad, I knew I had to be there...a two day marathon of pitching to agents, managers and production companies. Altogether I was able to meet with folks from 21 companies. Hours of phone calls and tons of query letters can't compare to the interest and number of scripts requested in those two days. Hats off to Fade In: for opening the industry doors a bit wider!" -A. Bowers

“I felt engaged from start to finish. And, most importantly, gained a great deal from it both creatively and on a practical level. I pitched my script and generated interest from Trimark, Outlaw Prods, and MPCA. Congratulations on putting together such a splendid weekend. It obviously comes from the heart.” -V. Hardy

“What an experience! A good chunk of the industry made for a sense of community I never thought I’d see in one place at one time. My partner and I covered over 25 meetings, pitching 4 scripts. It was encouraging to be asked for 12 synopses. But the real success was actually doing the pitches. I feel better prepared to get my work out. I can’t thank you too much or compliment you enough. Your efforts went beyond professional! Thank you.” -Malissa Daniel

“As a writer from Ohio, far from the industry, it is difficult at best to coordinate meetings with production professionals who will give their undivided attention. I’d like to thank you for having the foresight to develop the idea and the stamina for producing a great weekend. In a day and a half I met with twenty executives and got fourteen positive responses. Regardless of what happens, I know there would be no possible way I would have had the ability to meet with so many people in such a short amount of time. This conference allowed me that opportunity. Thank you.” -L. Grossman

"I wanted to thank you for another great pitch event. You hold the crown for running the very best events. I had an excellent time and five direct requests for scripts...My best to you all." -Nancy Raven Smith
