Meet and Greet
Lots of folks contribute to making My Visual Pitch .com the revolutionary new marketplace that it is, but the three people you're most likely to encounter on a day-to-day basis are profiled below. So, sit a spell and get to know us.
(If you really, really, really want to meet the company's board members and financial folks, contact us and we'll make it happen.)
Pamela Schott, President and CEO
It all started with a vision, which is fortuitous since Pamela was envisioning what would one day become My Visual Pitch .com. (As opposed to, say, My Written Pitch .com, or My Spoken Pitch .com. Though both of those are important, too.) As with all things Hollywood, there's more to the story.
Pamela Schott is an up-and-coming screenwriter with optioned material currently at work on her sixth and seventh projects (because she likes to make the people around her a little crazy). A former advertising and marketing consultant, Pamela has written, produced, and directed commercials for radio and television. As a freelance writer, Pamela's work has appeared in magazine and newspaper articles across the country, and on the Internet. Her first commissioned work for the screen was for an historic installation at the Indian Burial Mounds in Southern Illinois. A wife (of one) and mother (of two budding artists - one of whom claims to dream in romantic comedies), Pamela is a Bay Area transplant making her home in Westlake Village, CA, just over the L.A. county line. Because the air is clean there. And it's pretty. And there's no(t as much) traffic.

Susan wanted to put up a picture of her Fender Stratocaster guitar instead of the smiling face you see here, but that was against the rules.

One of those guys on the left is Grant, and he's not saying which. We had coffee with him in Beverly Hills not too long ago and he didn't look much like either of them, so we'll have to take his word for it.
