I'm Larry Meistrich. I've produced almost a hundred feature films including Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade, You Can Count on Me with Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney and Belly with DMX, Nas and Method Man. We've just started a major new studio called NEHST. We've closed a large film fund, and we're financed to produce and distribute pictures, TV, and Internet projects.

I've never felt like the traditional Hollywood system gave people a fair chance so lots of talented people stand outside the doors and never get to show their work. That's why we created PITCH NEHST to accept new ideas in all media, new scripts, finished films to distribute, and learn about talent of any kind. You don't need an agent, a lawyer, or a relative in the business. Follow the instructions, prepare your pitch and send it in. There's a nominal ten dollar fee that goes to cover website overhead and admin costs.

I've already made deals with seven people who attended my Pitch Sessions, Aspiring Filmmakers Bootcamp workshops and online here at pitchNEHST. Rafi Marcus, a student at University of Miami, got a deal to produce an original webisode and video series. Jamie Eschricht and his partner John Infantino pitched their kids sports series Dribble Kick Throw on this site and it's currently casting. More deals will be announced in the press soon, and others are in the works.

We're looking for anyone who has a great idea - on paper or in a short video. If you have a finished film and want distribution, our team will review it. If you're a cameraman, editor, musician or actor pitch your work too. If you're an actor, check out screentest.biz. Watch this site for notices about what we want to be pitched on. I'll be doing a series of PITCH NEHST LIVE sessions where you get to pitch in person - just check the schedule below. I look forward to seeing your work.
