THE PITCH COMPETITION

ATX Television Festival and Final Draft, Inc. partnered to create an invaluable opportunity for industry hopefuls to gain rare access to both TV creatives and Studio decision-makers. Contestants submitted pitches in the form of 90 second videos via YouTube that were viewed by a panel of industry judges who narrowed them to 10 finalists. They could pitch any type of show they wanted: a 1/2 hour drama for a traditional network, an hour drama for cable, a hybrid for original online content. The only guideline was that it be for a scripted (non-reality) series and pitched in under a minute and a half. Those 10 FINALISTS then pitched for 3 minutes LIVE at the festival, where judges chose one (1) winner. 557 VIDEO SUBMISSIONS were received and narrowed down to 20 SEMI-FINALISTS by a panel of screeners. PRESENTED WITH 2018 JUDGES Anna Fricke, Creator/Showrunner & Franklin Leonard, Founder of THE BLACK LIST Bryan Seabury, Senior Vice President Drama Development, CBS TV Studios Katy Rozelle, Senior Vice President Development, Paramount Television Dina Hillier, Vice President Original Series, Disney Channel Kaitlin Dahill, Director of Development, Chernin Entertainment

2018 FINALISTS INCLUDED 5 Comedy, 5 Drama • 8 Females, 6 Males • 6 Solo Pitchers, 4 Pairs

WINNER & PRIZE All 10 Finalists received badges to the festival and a copy of Final Draft. The winner received a mentor session with a Pitch Judge to help hone and develop his pitch, as well as an opportunity to pitch the finalized version to a Studio/Network partner of the festival. The winner also spent one week sitting in on an active writers room (complete with a one-on-one lunch with the showrunner), a three-month subscription to THE BLACK LIST, and an Industry Badge to ATX Television Festival 2018.

WHO WE ARE

Caitlin McFarland and Emily Gipson were in the film and television industries for over a decade before founding ATX Television Festival.

Caitlin focused her time and energy working on the production side for directors Betty Thomas, Nora Ephron, and Mira Nair. She has worked on a number of pilots, series, and feature films. In addition, she has been involved on the festival and filmmaker sides of renowned festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, and Doha Tribeca.

Emily spent her years in the industry working on the studio and network side for Twentieth Century Fox Film, TLC, Discovery Communications, and Fox TV Studios in marketing, finance, and business/legal.

Both Caitlin and Emily are pop culture fanatics, avid travelers, and, of course, obsessed with TV. Leading ATX into its sixth season, the pair remains passionate about growing the festival to its full potential, while also keeping it an intimate and accessible place for fans and industry to come together. They have also launched into development (with No Mondays Productions) as an outlet to create the television content they are passionate about.
