Trailer Park Pitch Session
Pitch Master Pat Ferns will host the new Trailer Park Pitch Sessions during AIDC 2010.
As the ‘Father of the Public Pitch’, Pat pioneered this financing and marketing tool 25 years ago at the BANFF Television Festival.
Since then, Pat has improved the format over the years and exported the public pitch to many other market events around the world.
AIDC 2010 is introducing the Trailer Park Pitch Session as an extension to our innovative and recently launched online market Trailer Park.
We’re pleased to announce the Trailer Park Pitch line up:
