The Pitch-off Project

Oliver and Nathan compete to create a movie including the world’s most awkward kiss. Both contestants’ protagonists undergo a profound transformation throughout development. But as the old Hollywood saying goes, “If you wanna know which screenwriter to hire, it’s in his kiss."

It’s Leete’s birthday! And that means things are topsy-turvy at Ishtar Studios. While contestants Jessica and Šimon pitch new movie crossovers, Leete grills them on such important questions as “What part will I play in the movie?” and “With which famous celebrity will I make out?” In the end, an erratic and capricious head of development will make an arbitrary decision based on nothing.

Bradley and Katie are tasked with brining new life to the dead-and-ravaged genre of the Erotic Thriller. There is considerable over Young Bradley’s description of “a bunch of bosoms shoved into the wall.” Katie invents and describes in detail the world’s most violent orgy. In this no-holds-barred episode of the Pitch-off Project, one contestant’s ability to remember the name of one of the most famous actors in America will determine the winner.

In an attempt to reassert its ownership of the Christmas iconography, the Coca Cola Corporation has given Ishtar studios 10 million dollars to create a Christmas movie that will advertise Coke with every frame. Hayden goes in depth on the anatomy of a bottle of Coke. Myrthin wants to shoot on long take of an elderly actor doing a 300lbs deadlift. In the end, it’s all decided by a festive holiday drinking contest.

Trevor and Linda are tasked with winning Ishtar Studios its first Oscar. Trevor creates a sequel with absolutely continuity to the original. In Linda’s movie, most of the action is done by a character who does not relate to the plot. In the entertainment industry, there is one word that is synonymous with the Academy Award, and that word is what determines the winner of this episode.

Grace and Chanelle set out to create movies based on the title The Adventures of Shy Bladder. Grace changes her title to reflect her artistic influences. Chanelle invents the next great party drug. During a revamped third round, our contestants make us so uncomfortable that Josef awards the winner in record time.

MK and Vicky play god to create movies with the title They Bloom in Winter. MK’s main character creates a tulip-potato hybrid that can save the world. Vicky’s main characters create a machine to reproduce asexually… in 1891!!?? And in the end, the old motto remains true: Who dares wins.

In our Hallow-scream Filmtacular, Grace And Scott pitch horror movies with iconic villains to rival Freddie and Jason. Grace learns you can’t make a fetish without breaking a few eggs. Scott rounds out the culinary experience with snails. As always, the contestants have to market their movies on barely-related criteria.

Chanelle Berlingeri and Art Carlson create movies based on 200 blank pages with the title Florence Montgommery’s Crumpets Salon. Chanelle creates a new race of half-ball, half-men. Art educates us on the etymology of the word “McGuffin.” In the end, Josef has to choose between the noble pursuit of artistic expression and blatant ego-stroking.

Daniel and Kristen create movie adaptations of the tradition of the pardoning of Thanksgiving turkeys. Daniel creates the least specific rock anthem of all time. The fate of Kristen’s pitch may depend on Charlize Theron's age. In a Hollywood first, one person will win due to honest self-reflection.
