OK, so I haven't pitched in a while. Been working on a project, and polishing a few scripts & pitches (which I hate more than anything). So, yesterday I see an email about a pitch session, last call. I said, I know that company's name. I hit pitch, paid, then emailed Joey my pitch. I woke up this morning to see the best email from Joey- REQUESTED. OK, so every time may not go that well, but it could not be easier to pitch. Not sure if your pitch is good? I strongly suggest having Joey help. He is a great guy, very warm, helpful and genuinely wants you to succeed. He is also very talented and has great suggestions.

Thanks buddy, now just have to pray they like it
Congrats! And yeah I see that... But $45 dollars a pop? When I've already spent everything (15K^) on actual development of a project I've been working on for five years (not counting day to day living expenses). I'm literally going broke simply trying to get to a point to pitch. I understand you must spend money to make money or gain information nowadays (sad), but I feel that if I'm about to pitch for their time... Honestly, I am broke and I feel that the time I've spent on my project "Teller Of Tales" ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Teller-Of-Tales-A-Fib-Fit-For-A-King/1803... ) should be seen on atleast an "interest" level. Where for "Free" you can atleast have your project and pitch displayed... So then you get a REQUESTED READ pitch opportunity by the person. Idk.... I'll end up saving my money to start pitching, but I feel like $45 pop is a bit steep simply to acquire an interest to read the script. I'm thinking of paying $85 dollars for the sellascript sight that will send out your pitch to what they say are hundreds of reps. Anyone know about this? Or have done it? I mean literally... I'm going to do what it takes to get my project out there, but I can see that at $45 dollars a pop for 8 min? Someone is making some serious dough! $300 bucks an hour. Simply to listen to pitches that could make them money anyways. I feel that for people who are poor... Like me... Should have an opportunity to pitch too. Or atleast have an "Interest hour" where they can have their pitch read. But it's all about money, isn't it?

Never heard of other site, will check out. $45 per shot adds up quick, but they are out there getting the people. Otherwise we'd have to pour of the directory, look up each producer/agent/manger to see if they are looking and for what, then mail out hundreds of query letters. Joey and the team have done the legwork, and their time is worth money too, so I am happy to pay them for doing the work I didn't want too or couldn't-- he has access to people we do not
Agreed! I'll eventually do this I'm certain, hell, Id love to pitch to that person up right now, who was involved with Ridley Scott's works. But gonna have to wait and save... Maybe do one every two weeks or something. Well, cheers Jeff and good luck with your works. You seem to be a good-hearted person and I wish you the best. Some of us have to eventually make it, right? Lol good luck to us and those like us, who stay with it. Cheers, my fellow colleague.

Congrats Jeff!
Thank you Helena, please say a little prayer they like it
Congrats, Jeff. I hope they love it once they read it. And you're right, Joey is the best. I ask him all the time if he sleeps and he replies 'Never!'. He's one of the best things about Stage32.
Thank you Frank, I really appreciate that. The support here is great. As for Joey, I hate to use the word sweet to describe a guy, because most take it derogatory, but it is the word I think describes him best. He's just a nice, sweet, talented guy, there to help
