Screenwriters are often introverted and find it difficult to present their ideas to the public. Actors are at home on stage. "Pitch Dating" offers exchange and platform for participating authors and actors to pitch together, in public and in front of a jury and to bring out a film idea. The event PITCH DATING is carried out by the Baden-Württemberg Authors' Forum (AUF) in cooperation with the Bundesverband Schauspiel (BFFS) as part of the Baden-Württemberg film show on December 5, 2020 in Stuttgart.
After the successful premiere of "Pitch Dating" in the film forum "setUP media" during the film show Baden-Württemberg 2019, there should be a sequel in 2020.
