The NRB 2021 Pitch-a-thon

On June 24, the National Religious Broadcasters Convention will be hosting its annual Pitch-a-thon from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Attendees with completed films, video projects, scripts or books that can be made into movies will have the opportunity to make face-to-face pitches with at least 8 major distributors and production companies. Each guest will be given a five-minute block of time divided into two segments – three minutes to pitch their idea and two minutes to receive questions and feedback from the company representative. 

Over its seven years of existence, the NRB Pitch-a-thon has resulted in a number of completed deals. Most recently, Aneesh Daniel made contacts in the industry that enabled him to create his film, “The Least of These: The Graham Staines Story.” Starring Stephen Baldwin and Sharman Joshi, the movie went on to win the “Best Picture” Gold honor at the ICVM Crown Awards.

To participate in the Pitch-a-thon, attendees must first purchase a Full, Expo Plus, or Thursday-Only Registration. After registering, guests will then have the opportunity to sign up for the limited, first-come-first-serve time slots.
