Where and when will the event be held this year?
Saturday, Nov 15, 2025 in Executive Inn & Suites, 1755 Embarcadero, Oakland, CA 94606.
Can someone else represent me or my project at the event?
No. You must pitch your own project — one that you have the rights to.
What is the schedule like?
Email your top three choices from our list of 7 pros to hugh@pitchcircuit.company, along with your name. We’ll try to match you with at least two. You’ll then receive a time slot to come in for your 5-minute face-to-face pitch.
We’re a writing team. Do we both need tickets?
Yes. Each team member must purchase their own ticket — and you’ll get double the number of pitch meetings.
What material should I bring?
Synopses are allowed but not encouraged. Focus on the strength of your first ten pages. If you share a trailer or proof-of-concept, keep it concise and directly relevant.
Should I contact companies before the event?
No — meet them in the room. That’s why they’re attending.
How do I follow up?
Send a thoughtful thank-you note. Only call if a rep specifically asks you to send materials.
Can I pitch different projects to different reps?
Absolutely — tailor to each rep.
Are companies looking for features or TV?
Both — plus books, shorts, true stories, web series that can be adapted.
