Major Ret. Frances A. Cheever
Soldier for Life
GIFF17 Pitchfest Winner
Pitchfest...? That's right, a Pitchfest...! How many film festivals have you been to that a filmmaker could do a pitch at the festival...? Probably none. Well, at GIFF 2017 there was.
Twenty filmmakers selected had a shot at selling their story concept to these industry professionals:
Friday night all 20 selections pitched in front of the above judges, with three selected as finalists to do a pitch at the awards ceremony on Sunday night in front of the entire audience...
...and the winner is:
A cable prime time episodic military ensemble concept and screenplay was the action/drama storyline Frances pitched successfully.
Notice the one liner up there on the top of the poster? "The only way back home alive...is dead"
That is a key element and twist to this exciting action/adventure (and we should add survival) story by Ret. Major Frances Cheever. Unfortunately we can't tell you any more because besides ruining the story... all this stuff is classified.
What we can tell you is that besides having all those industry powerhouses being introduced to the concept of RALLY POINT, the author, Major Ret. Frances A. Cheever will be flown to Los Angles by American Airlines, one of the long-time G. I. Film Festival Sponsors, to take her script and concept up to the next level...
