My Pitch Fest

I queried 3 more agents and one production company yesterday. Slow, i know. I should be doing 10 a day, right?

Anyway, i was curious about the big screenwriting expo this weekend, which i'm not attending because 3 weeks ago, i wasnt ready, but now i am. Oh well. I'm still not going. I called two companies/agents that will be attending the pitch fest. The production company said that the only way they accept submissions is "through an agent that they work with." I asked about the pitch fest this weekend. And they reiterated, "the only way to submit, is through an agent that they work with."

Then i called icm, who's also slated to attend the pitch fest. They said that they are not accepting anyone new at this time. And i asked, "but what about the pitch fest this weekend, will you be accepting there?" They said that they're not attending the pitch fest.

So, i wonder about this pitch fest. Are the people really coming or not?

Anyway, i'm just glad i didnt rush to buy a ticket, which is what i wanted to do when i finished my screenplay.
