PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS & AFM TEAM FOR FAVORITE FILM PITCH CONTEST
Sep 09, 2009
The People’s Choice Awards (PCA) and American Film Market (AFM) have teamed to create an unprecedented Favorite
Film Pitch contest. The competition will provide industry professionals
attending the AFM, Nov. 4-11, with the opportunity to get their pitches in
front of producers, distributors and, in a unique twist, the voting public, PCA
President Fred Nelson and AFM Managing Director Jonathan Wolf announced today.
“This
is a great opportunity for fans to get a behind-the-scenes look into the film
industry.” Nelson says. “The People’s Choice Awards has attained overwhelming
public and industry support by being the only major awards show where real
people vote for their favorites in music, movies and television. Now, for the
first time, fans will also have an influential voice in deciding what films get
produced. This is a very exciting development that takes our brand, pop culture
and user-generated video to an entirely new level.”
“The AFM is about the
business of film – everyone is selling something – so it’s the perfect venue
for a Favorite Film Pitch contest,” Wolf says. “Imagine the winner
telling a producer, ‘The public voted my project the film they most wanted
to see get made.’ That’s powerful.”
Submissions to the Favorite
Film Pitch contest will be recorded live Nov. 7-10 on a mini-set at the
American Film Market Each pitch will be limited to two-and-a-half
minutes.
Afterward, the AFM will
assemble a group of industry leaders to select five finalists. Their pitches
will be posted on www.peopleschoice.com
— the official PCA Website — following CBS’ broadcast of THE 2010 PEOPLE’S
CHOICE AWARDS in early January, allowing fans to choose the ultimate winner:
the film they would most like to see get made.
In addition to receiving the Favorite
Film Pitch award, the winner will also receive an AFM 2010 package that
includes full access for two to the AFM, including seminars and conferences;
airfare for two to Los Angeles; hotel for five
nights in Santa Monica;
and scheduled meetings with producers and distributors. For more information and contest guidelines, please visit www.AmericanFilmMarket.com/FavoriteFilmPitch .
The People’s Choice website
at www.peopleschoice.com serves as a year-round destination for entertainment
enthusiasts to voice their opinions on pop culture. Now in its 36th year,
The People’s Choice Awards is voted on entirely by the public for fan favorites
in music, movies and television. Fred Nelson is the President of People’s
Choice, and the website and awards show are produced by Procter & Gamble
Productions.
The AFM is produced by the Independent Film
& Television Alliance
(IFTA), the trade association
representing the world’s producers and distributors of independent motion
pictures and television programs. For more information, visit www.AmericanFilmMarket.com.
