If buying a DVD from an Asian American director stirs up your
latent artistic desires, then get thee to BREAKING THE BOW: The 1st
Annual Independent Asian Pacific Islander Performing Artists and
Writers Festival in Santa Monica on October 22. From their press release:
  

Competing in front of an audience and a panel of esteemed
judges, screenwriters will battle each other with their one-minute
pitches for the opportunity to have a pitch meeting with executives at
FOX 2000 and FOX Searchlight as well as have lunch with a FOX
executive. 

Much like American Idol, the screenwriters will be judged
on performance and persuasive techniques, quality and originality of
writing, and presentation. Any writer can enter Battle of the Pitches which promotes Asian Pacific
Islander writers and scripts that have prominent, non-stereotypical,
and strong Asian Pacific Islander characters and themes. 

Complete
entrant information can be found at www.mapid.us. Battle of the
Pitches contestants enter for $5 plus the $10 ticket admission. Contestant reservations and audience reservations are strongly
suggested.
 

Just released are the identities of the judges:

API film icon Kelvin Han Yee
Writer
Writer, actress and comedienne Amy Hill

Academy Award winner Chris Tashima
 

Programs assist in the promotion and education of undiscovered,
unattached, and unknown talent.  Breaking the Bow is sponsored by Fox
Diversity, East West Magazine, Visual Communications, JBC Images, Brian
Raimondi Photography, and Lago Santa Monica.

$15 for a chance to be a Hollywood writer sounds like a pretty good deal. Head on over to the Miles Memorial Playhouse at 1130 Lincoln Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403 to see if you have what it takes. I'm going to try to pitch my dream project: Rambo: Finally Deported from Asia.
