What are the pitfalls of pitching a short script face-to-face to producers?

"US Navy Cine-Kodak" is the most successful short screenplay I've ever entered into screenwriting competitions - its won first place in 7 since last October!

The script is set in Paris so my good pal Jean-Marie translated it into French, entered it into the Clermont-Ferrand film festival where it's become one of a few official selections to be pitched in person direct to attending producers. We've had to supply two video pitches (one French - one English) but whether the script secures producer interest is entirely dependent on pitching to them face-to-face at the festival on 8th February.

So all tips, hints advice about pitching scripts in the flesh to producers would be very welcome, indeed!

Best wishes, Steve

Go for the big picture and keep it short. If they want detail, they'll ask for it. Remember the 'elevator pitch' - get it tight.
