I enjoyed the pitching session most because it is actually a very important process in filmmaking, whether you are to explain to your investors about what the film is about or to persuade the crew how to achieve your vision, so I am very glad that by attending this festival, I got to pitch in front of a professional panel whom they immediately gave me feedback on my presentation skills and also the story idea. Now I have gathered enough information and feedbacks to work on the script and the pitch further and I am looking into getting the script finished and hopefully to get it financed and made.
