Pitch

About This Movie

So, Pitch is this quirky Canadian doc that dives into the hustle of two earnest filmmakers at the Toronto Film Festival back in '96. Their film concept, 'The Dawn,' is pretty wild—think Mafia don, hernia operation... then a sex change? It's all about the absurdity of pitching to celebs, capturing that frenetic energy of festival life. The pacing is a mix of awkward pauses and bursts of enthusiasm, which keeps it engaging in a way that feels real. You get these raw performances as they navigate the unpredictability of the film industry. There's something distinctly charming about how they approach the whole process, even when it gets cringey. It’s a snapshot of ambition wrapped in a documentary format that doesn’t shy away from the bizarre.

Interesting take on the film pitching process.Captures the essence of late '90s indie filmmaking.A unique blend of documentary and comedy elements.
