IndieWire summit panel will discuss finding the next hit

IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking Summit is set for October 17 in Los Angeles, and one of the main sessions will focus on how Hollywood decides what can become the next big hit.

The “Pitch Me” panel will bring together decision makers from the representation, production, and distribution sides of the industry. They will talk through how they evaluate pitches and what makes a project stand out.

IndieWire Editor-in-Chief Brent Lang will lead the conversation. The panel is meant to give attendees a clearer look at how people in the business look for breakout projects in a film industry that is still driven by hits.

The summit will be held at Penske Media’s headquarters at Lumen West LA. It will include panels and networking focused on storytelling, along with more programming to be announced soon.
