Note from APS Founder, Ty Johnston-Chavis: “I’m truly excited about our relaunch after being on hiatus for some time. Atlanta has grown with developing content and our organization has built new relationships and partnerships from Georgia being in the top three in the world for shooting productions. The response from executives, studios and networks has been exciting. It’s nice how many have not forgotten what we originally started back in 2011. Some have said we were ahead of our time in the earlier years, which is fine with me. It just means we got a head start on what Atlanta really needed.”

Actual Pitches Going Down at APS:
The Atlanta Pitch Summit™ is a weekend event for all writers, producers, directors, actors and entertainment entrepreneurs to pitch their idea to television networks, production houses, executive partners, and film studios. The distribution process of selling a project can become stressful, time consuming and costly for the average person when trying to transition their script to mainstream. The educational factor of The Atlanta Pitch Summit is to learn how to pitch and give you the opportunity to do so at the same time. Overall, we hope to enlighten and enhance not only the creativity behind the script, but also the network in which can guide your journey.
