Filmmaking / Directing : Vinny The Elf by Lenny Castellaneta

Vinny The Elf

My Italian-American Christmas mob comedy, VINNY THE ELF, recently fell out of development 'cause the producers couldn't find funding for it... even though they had a pretty big name paisan actor set to play one of the leads. Not sure where to go w/it now. (I put it on InkTip, but only 3 synopsis views in 5 months.) Anyone have any suggestions where to pitch it?

Lenny, have you tried Stage 32 Happy Writers? They consult, give coverage, offer webinar classes and hold online pitch sessions with executives -- pitch through Skype or submit a written pitch. If you are uncertain email Joey Tuccio, Happy Writers president, with questions -- joey@stage32.com. A pitch session is happening this weekend. Take a look: https://www.stage32.com/happy-writers/pitch-sessions :)

Thanks, Beth, but their cost to pitch is way too high IMO. And I already got coverage/good script notes from director Donald Petrie on it. Thanks, though... appreciate you taking the time to respond!
