\"\"<\/a>I am off to South Africa (Cape Town and Johannesburg). \u00a0I will\u00a0work with new filmmakers and industry pros in the Enter the Pitch<\/a> competition.<\/p>\n

This is the first year launch in South Africa. \u00a0Enter the Pitch<\/a> has been going strong in the UK for about a decade.<\/p>\n

In both locations, the competition is the ultimate adaptation challenge.<\/p>\n

Entrants are asked to make a two-minute pitch adapting a Bible story, character or situation as a short film for the big screen. \u00a0The film can be set in any era (past, present, or future), in any tone or style (thriller, space odyssey, mystery, love story, etc.). \u00a0The artistic choices are endless. \u00a0The only caveat\u00a0is the film must stay true to the emotional heart of the original story.<\/p>\n

Lust, violence, betrayal, romance, war, murder, fidelity, greed, forgiveness all figure in the collection of books we call the Bible. Every human situation and conflict is represented. The story possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

Successfully adapting one of these stories will teach you how to how to adapt any kind of material. \u00a0I am the development consultant and I help the pitch winner every step of the way. It’s a fascinating process and one I hope you consider being a part of.<\/p>\n
