Description

Session 1 - Paul Tamasy: Pitching To The Studios

Paul Tamasy isn’t just an Academy Award–nominated screenwriter and producer (The Fighter, Patriots Day, The Finest Hours, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare)—he’s also the only panelist who’s been with us every year at SIMIFF. This time, Paul is pulling back the curtain on how he gets projects sold to major studios. In a hands-on workshop, he’ll walk you step by step through crafting the perfect pitch—and share what it really takes to get Hollywood to say yes.

Session 2 - Simi Valley: Open For Film Making

Thinking about your next project? This panel brings together Film Simi Valley, local location scouts, City Council, and permitting experts to share why Simi Valley is one of the easiest and most welcoming places to film. From permits to locations to community support, you’ll see why so many productions choose Simi—and why you might want to bring your next shoot here.
