Got a TV comedy to pitch?
FESTIVAL LOTO-QUÉBEC JUST FOR LAUGHS
presented in association with Labatt Bleue
Press Release
For Immediate Release
EIGHT SPOTS TO FILL, FIVE MINUTES TO KILL!
JUST FOR PITCHING
Montreal, June 9, 2005 Once again, hundreds of the most imaginative, young minds in television comedy will be given the chance of a lifetime to premiere their work at an unprecedented entertainment event, where they will pitch their concepts to a carefully selected panel of top-notch television executives from around the world.
Just For Pitching is the brainchild of Just For Laughs and Pat Ferns, who have created a platform for comedy ideas and proposals to be pitched to a panel of international TV executives. Last year¹s panel included executives from CBS, CBC, CTV, NBC, Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox.
Only eight will be chosen from hundreds of hopeful young television creators whose ideas will be scrutinized by the expert panel. Participants have a mere five minutes to pitch their concept directly to these television decision-makers in the hopes that they will be one step closer to the road to a development deal.
Entrants must submit a project synopsis no longer than 750 words, by June 10 and are given the option to hand in a clip in various formats. Applications are available on-line at the Just for Laughs homepage at hahaha.com.
Pat Ferns, who launched the public pitching craze in 1985, returns to host this year¹s event.
Just for Pitching, the place where television history is made! Live from Festival Headquarters at the Delta Hotel.

[nq:1]Just for Pitching, the place where television history is made! [/nq] It would be so much more realistic if the competitors were first required to leap off a five story building, eat a bowl grubs and cleverly vote each other out of the hotel by stabbing each other in the back. Now that's the true test of a sitcom writer.
