Sofia, my business partner and all around homegirl and I decided to apply to the Massify/Killer Films Concept (www.massify.com) contest where they will choose one short film project to produce. Of course, we were made aware of this competition at the last minute and weren't sure we had time enough to apply. Down to the wire, we decided to give it our best try. Part of the contest is that you have to create a PITCH video where you ---well, pitch the project to them. Click below to see the video.
THE QUEEN ON THE MIC PITCH VIDEO
We shot the pitch on a FLIP CAMERA in one long take. Given that we're not professional actors, well we didn't do too bad. LOL. Remember this is only acting, we were cracking ourselves up because Sofi and I never talk to each other this way.
You had to pitch a comedic short film that was 5-15 pages. Ironically, many of the writer/director video pitches weren't funny. Doesn't make sense, if you're going to pitch a comedy, shouldn't the pitch be reflective of your comedic sense?
What's really funny is that after we spent all this time scripting, staging and then shooting the video. We uploaded it UNDER PROJECT and not UNDER CONCEPT. By the time my friend Cristina lovingly alerted me to the fact that we did this....let's just say no matter what we did the website was flooded with traffic and we get the video to upload under CONCEPT PITCHES. So, we didn't officially get to enter our pitch in the contest, but it was worth the fun we had in just being creative. We'll blame the snafu on Mercury being in Retrograde.
We were also very grateful for all the love and support people showed us by rating the video and adding comments. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful supporters in our lives. Mil gracias.
