Many wonderful stories and scripts go unproduced because the author or originator has not or can not make a convincing oral summary (or "pitch") of its value, appeal, and marketability to a producer or agent. In this annual panel, we encourage student winners of the Writing Division's Scriptwriting Competition and others to "pitch" their story to industry professionals, who will evaluate the "pitch" and their script's merit in the current marketplace. Moderator: Micheal McAlexander, Frostburg State University Panelists: Carole Kirschner, author, Hollywood Game Plan: How to Land a Job in Film, TV or Digital Entertainment Geoff Silverman, Rain Management Group Matthew Horwitz, Artist International
