"Jaws in Space"
from The Plaza Classic Podcast Hosted by El Paso Community Foundation
Do you know the story behind the most famous pitch in film history? It was for 1979's Alien. Legend has it, the screenwriters told the studio heads three words: "Jaws in space." The power of the pitch is clear, and there will be a workshop during the Plaza Classic Film Festival to help writers finesse that much-needed skill. El Paso Film Commissioner Drew Mayer-Oakes joins Lisa Elliott and Stephanie Valle in the podcast studio to talk about the Screenwriting Pitch Fest. The Plaza Classic Film Festival runs from July 17-27, 2025. Find the pitch fest on the full schedule here. Get festival passes and more here. Want more? Check out the show notes. The Plaza Classic Podcast is a production of the El Paso Community Foundation and is recorded on the El Paso Community College campus.
