"Love your site. It's smart, effective and so much fun!"
Micki Pagano, Writer
"I submitted two queries for my own projects...I also used the editing
service provided by Zuckerman. For me, this in itself was a worthy
investment. Zuckerman was able to cull from my draft letter the essence of
my story and make it more coherent. More importantly, his notes made my
story appeal to a buyer. This is training that I'll keep with me...Built to
be friendly to the writer and useful to the buyer, Virtual Pitch Fest
strikes me as a win-win prospect."
Stacey Collins, Writer
From her article in Creative Screenwriting magazine
"I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I am really impressed
with your service. First, your turnaround for editing my query letter was
fantastic. Then, I sent out thirteen queries this afternoon and I received
responses back from nine of those queries within a matter of only a few
HOURS. Even more encouraging was the fact that out of those nine responses I
received three requests for my script. .333 is a pretty good batting average
for query letters. I've tried a lot of different sites and services for
emerging screenwriters and none have been so effective at getting me access
to and responses from industry pros...Nice work. I look forward to
continuing to use your service."
Todd Luongo, Writer
"As an aspiring writer, having VPF as a venue to submit my work keeps me
optimistic -- especially David's creative guideline of a five business day
limit for pros to respond!"
Sandy Greenberg, Writer
"Love your site. Thank you for having the wisdom to let a great concept sell itself."
Gary Porpora, Writer
“Wow, I'm impressed…thank you for all of your help. I'm enjoying the VPF site, and this has been an eye-opener.”
Michael Lea, Writer
“David, just wanted to let you know that I signed with Kathy Muraviov of The Muraviov Company for representation of my script “Fakin’ It.” She responded to my query sent through the VPF site. Thanks for helping make this connection for me.”
Jerrad Burford, Writer
“Virtual Pitch Fest introduced me to manager Justin Olson @ Rebel Entertainment…Justin is helping me get a film into development and a graphic novel produced based on a horror script that I completed…Thanks for your service!”
Bob Heske, Writer
"Your system really works. I lived in L.A. a long time trying to sell
scripts and since I've moved back home...I've been using services like
yours. I'm having more success now! Thanks again."
Jason Smith, Writer
"Thanks, again, David - the right words, in the right order - it's sublime, isn't it? Thanks for helping to get me there so beautifully. Glad I found ya."
Jude Roth, Writer
"Virtual Pitch Fest is the greatest"
Barbe LaPierre, Writer
"I don't know how you get these high rollers to answer so quickly...I'm awed. Usually, it's a shot in the dark, and you merely hope someone will respond. In your case...someone actually does. And in this case in particular, it could lead to a script that has been universally loved but as yet unsold being read by someone who matters...This is a very well kept secret!"
Cynthia M. Dagnal-Myron, Writer
"Virtual Pitch Fest is a fast and easy way for producers to find some new, undiscovered talent. I highly recommend it. We have optioned one script off of VPF and hope to find more!"
Daniel Manus
Clifford Werber Productions
"I bought my first V.I.P. package and within two days had three script
requests from major production companies. Not only was your service fast and
convenient, it was also VERY friendly! I have used other script querying
services and none compare to what you have going here."
Joseph Pignataro, Writer
"...I appreciate your help – and as one who went to an actual Pitchfest, this virtual version is FAR superior!"
Mark Onspaugh, Writer
“I connected with a producer on your site who's now attempting to package my screenplay. He liked my work so much, he's also referring me to some
managers. Thank you, Virtual Pitch Fest!”
Rod Spence, Writer
"Thank you for the tweak on my query. Right
(write) on, man!...A couple less words in the logline and it's golden. Thanks
for liking it; your praise is like getting an 'A' from the professor...VIP
membership has its privileges. Take that, American Express!"
Eddie Yaroch, Writer
"VPF Rocks! I ordered
your VIP package and spent the morning pitching on
Friday. By early that same afternoon, I had
already netted four responses ... with two Industry
Pros calling for reads. That's a 50% success
rate. Awesome product, here! See you in
Hollywood ...P.S. Dave Z. was also 'fast-on-the draw'
returning his editing recommendations for one of
my queries, which came with the package."
Kevin Ray Crawford, Writer
“That was the quickest, easiest, most productive way to pitch I have ever experienced…Thank you! I'm a believer!”
Megan Johnson, Writer
“I really appreciate the quick turn-around, especially
in light of the fact that Andy Cohen of Grade A Entertainment
has requested the entire script...I have to say that it was
some of the best money I have ever invested...”
Suzanne Roquemore, Writer
I think that your service is a great
tool for writers...it is an awesome experience!
Anissa Pletz, Writer
"I have had two positive responses to
five pitches, which is a very good 'strike' rate...Thanks again
for the site -- it's the best result I have ever had using the
internet."
Danny Sheehy, Writer
"...VirtualPitchFest.com is far and
beyond a terrific resource for writers!"
R. Howard Barenburg, Writer
"David, you ROCK! I just ordered the basic 5 pitches package!"
Joseph Olmo, Writer
"...Thank you for putting [on] this amazing site that is helpful, constructive and delivers its promises. Having attended pitchfests, this is one of the best ideas the industry has seen in a long time...
Christopher Bernard, Writer
"I thought I'd let you know that of the ten VPF emails I sent regarding Tail
Spin, I got five 'yes' responses. That 50% 'success' rate compares to zero
responses - to say either yes or no - to cold (or 'tepid'!) email queries,
and I sent more than a dozen. I've already spoken on the phone to one
producer and am meeting with him when I'm in L.A. in a month. Clearly the
relationships you have with these companies pay dividends."
Alan Brash, Writer
PRAISE FOR SCRIPTCOACH
"This has been a blast...I think you're a class act."
Matthew Schliesman, Writer
"Thank you for awesome, very clear and thoughtful notes...When the student is ready the teacher appears...and here you are."
Richard Oshen, Writer
"WOW! Great notes...Your story ideas, plot twists, character mods and overall tone ideas are inspirational to me..."
Jeff Gallea, Writer
"...I have used twelve Analysts in the past from 'voted no.1 in the US' too Script Pimp... and I have to say your approach is astounding and you know exactly what we want and where we hope to be from A-Z. I can say for sure that we will be working closely together until this script is on celluloid...finally an analyst who possesses manners and respect his mother would be proud of..."
Anthony Furlong, Writer
"David...I will have to admit you have helped me more than words can describe and I thank you for that..."
Andrew Blake, Writer
"Last night I read my original
draft. Then I read what we have worked on. WOW! Even
if this thing never sells, this has been the best
investment to at least take my writing to a new level.
I'm enjoying writing more than ever."
Jeff Qualle, Writer
"...I wish I had gone to you four months ago. I think you now understand why I couldn't just use any L.A. script analyst for this screenplay."
David Weinberg, Writer
"...I just felt I had to write to you, and tell you
thanks from the bottom of my heart for believing in
me and my script. I really believe with your expertise,
and my whole hearted feeling and determination, we can
make this a real thing."
Barbara Fisher, Writer
"David Kohner Zuckerman is like an expert
mechanic. When the engine of my script is making a clunky noise
that I can't identify, he finds the problem and helps me fix
it."
Stevie Long, Writer
"Starsky & Hutch"
"The Mind of the Married Man"
"David Zuckerman grabs a'hold
of a screenplay like a wolverine and won't let go until it's
produced. That's why it would be to your advantage to grab a'hold
of David Zuckerman."
Billy Field, Writer
"Fame"
"The Lazarus Man"
"Caught in the Act"
"David, I can't thank you enough for
providing me both with the opportunity to hear your perspective
on my story and for the notes you provided. They are invaluable...
I feel I'm now armed with what I need for re-writes and pitching.
Your service has in all ways been excellent. It makes submitting
my script to a reader like going into a test already knowing
the questions -- and answers!"
