''The Pitch' is set in the apartment of Walter Weinermann, aspiring screen writer, In one hour he will pitch his screenplay to the panel. For Walter, it's not just a chance for work. It's a chance for immortality. A chance to get back his girlfriend who's dumped him for a born again Christian. A chance to rubbish his landlord in his Oscar acceptance speech. A chance to prove to the world that he's not the idiot they've taken him for.' Source: www.melbournestage.com.au (Sighted 14/03/2007).
