THE ELEVATOR PITCH - A Short about Breaking into the Movie Business

View fullsize

It's not easy trying to get into the movie business. It's one of the toughest industries to break into. Your best chance of getting in is a combination of working your ass off, and being at the right place at the right time, like in an elevator with a major Hollywood player. Mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer once said, "90% of all Hollywood careers begin with an elevator pitch…"

I've got a funny short film for you to watch today called The Elevator Pitch that centers around that central idea. The short is described as a "fourth-wall breaking trip through the film industry, featuring a plucky intern struggling to get to the top…"

The short was extremely well made, and it's loaded with really fun twists and turns that you don't see coming.
