Pitching Tents 10: Young Adult Fiction (Featuring Kollin Holtz!)

It’s the future. The bad future. The one where it’s been more than two months since the last Pitching Tents. Now our only hope is a young woman with a lot of determination but very little ability to actually drive the plot. It’s up to her to be bossed around by all the men in her life! Only she can not decide between which of the two guys who have a crush on her gets to live to the end of the story and get with her! Only though thinly veiled social commentary can we succeed!

Pitching Tents 09: Christmas

Hold on to that good feeling as long as you can! We’re now entering that weird, delightful, somewhat bittersweet time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, when it’s hard to get anything done at work and the days seem to just fly by if you’re at home. Try to treasure it, try to make every day valuable. Like this one, the day you’re using to read this text. That’s a good start, but may I recommend you listen to this week’s Pitching Tents instead of just reading about it? That’s what Father Christmas would want you to do.

Pitching Tents 08: Epics

Have you gone and seen Exodus: Gods and Kings? What about Interstellar? Or The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies? All of them are long-ass epic movies, with gigantic setpieces and even bigger budgets. That’s what people like now, you see. If they’re going to bother actually going to the theater, they want to be stuck there a while. That’s why the Transformers series has done so well. And you want to tap into that money well, don’t you? Don’t worry, Pitching Tents is here to help! Here are some easy ideas on how to get that sweet, sweet epic movie cash.

Pitching Tents 07: Primetime TV

Television may have taken a while to achieve credibility, but the medium has certainly arrived by now. It used to be the place actors went after their careers fell apart in the cinema, now it’s a viable launchpad as well as the source of some of our most respected actors (Bryan Cranston, Peter Dinklage, Claire Danes). So what I’m saying is we’re not really “settling” for doing TV pitches at all. Yeah, doing a TV series would is totally our dream, this has nothing to do with the fact that Hollywood has not been accepting of our latest pitches and we’re getting desperate for work. Nope, it’s not like that at all. TV is great. Game of Thrones, right?

Pitching Tents 06: Summer

Labor Day weekend is upon us and for all intents and purposes summer 2014 is dead and gone. But we’ve decided to let it go out with a laugh by reflecting on some of the best unmade concepts for summer movies. Yeah, this week we pretty much go in the direction you’d expect anyone to go with summer ideas, nothing really out of the ordinary here. You know, just the usual ghosts and utopian themes that most people think of when they think of the warmest season.

Pitching Tents 05: Robots

The new Transformers movie is out and it really looks like Michael Bay has another hit on his hands, to basically no one’s surprise. If you read any of the reviews, you’ll see just how weary America’s critics are at trying to explain how deeply flawed this franchise is, especially compared to other quality sci fi currently in theaters, like Edge of Tomorrow and Snowpiercer, to a public that just doesn’t care. The people have spoken, and they want giant robots! We’re prepared to give them exactly that this week on Pitching Tents.
