We are thrilled to present to you 
#ScreenPit  
8 am to 8 pm Hollywood time
19 March 2025  

Screenplays & scripts only (no books)

This is an opportunity to put your loglines out there

previously it was done exclusively on Xitter, but they’re giving BlueSky a go this time round (apparently it runs four times a year) 

in their guidelines they make a number of mentions of SCRIPT REVOLUTION – so i figured it was cool to share it here

to learn more, go to:  https://screenpit.org

These are really good events to see what other people are writing and make some new friends, and does get some people read.

i'll take your word for it! – back in March, i did ask them on BlueSky :

i just participated in the latest pitch-a-thon – thanks for the opportunity to share my work and meet new people – i was wondering if you were in the habit of posting any stats after these events? – things like the number of writers involved, the number of scripts pitched, maybe genre breakdowns and how the numbers split between BlueSky and Xitter – it may just be me, but i think this would of interest to both writers and the industry at large – thanks for your time and best of luck! 

i received a response shortly before the latest round, where i was told that BlueSky's analytics (or whatever, i can't remember the exact words) weren't up to scratch as yet – which, sure, i guess – i mean, if i had the time, i could produce a set of stats for BlueSky by manually scrolling through the results after searching #ScreenPit ... if i had the time
