Pitch and Planning Session # 58
The next Pitch and Planning Session will be on: [đ°ïž](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t85/2/16/1f570.png) **Tue. June 2nd at 19:00**
[đ](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tcc/2/16/1f4cd.png)**House of Music**
**RAW Gelande**
**Revalerstr 99,**
**10245 Berlin**
The event is on the ground floor, by the bar. This is a very large and amazing space that we are now calling home.
We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world!
Please note that this is a free event. In order to support the work we do, our community, and the lovely space that is gracious enough to let us hold events there, all we ask is that that you have 2 drinks of some kind or at least some snacks. That would help us out a lot! [đž](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tb/2/16/1f378.png)
For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made.
If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality!
This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you!
Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit!
If you still want more information you can head on over to our website:
https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch-planning.php
I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.
Park Workout and Martial Arts
We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.
Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.

Lousy & Lazy SC - Mixed Friendly Football
Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!**
We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.**
Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/).
Rules for lazy & lousy football
1. **Donât be competitive**
2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges**
3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball**
4. **Donât dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).**
5. **Donât close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.**
6. **Rotate the goalkeeper**
7. **Be a teamplayer**
Waiting list:
This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

Collaborative Modeling Meetup - Problem Solving with EventStorming
*This event is a collaboration with our friends from Domain Driven Design Berlin, check out their Meetup page [here](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/domain-driven-design-berlin/) and sign up there!*

**About the evening**
For the June edition of our collaborative modeling meetup, weâll continue the EventStorming deep dive we started earlier this year and explore some of the tactics and recipes of this format. What does that mean, exactly? Massive learning, massive fun, and massive numbers of sticky notes.
As always, everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a software engineer to participate. In fact, it would be great to have more people who aren't software engineers. We're here to solve problems cross-functionally, not get into implementation details. As long as you care passionately about getting things right, then you belong here!
This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!

The Devil in Miss Beros: Erotica-inspired Stand-Up Comedy in English
**Anna revels in sacrilege and shameless self-determination in her 4th stand-up solo hour, The Devil in Miss Beros, an homage to the Golden Age of Pornâs, âThe Devil in Miss Jonesâ.** Previewing Tuesday June 2nd as a work in progress, before premiering at VolksbĂŒhne GrĂŒner Salon June 12th and at the Edinburgh Fringe August 2026.
**âThis was such a fun show and I genuinely couldnât stop laughing!** It was so dark, a little twisted, and so wrong in all the right places! Viciously relatable and finally saying all the 18+ thoughts out loud that youâre ashamed of finding funny! 10/10, no notes, go watch!â â Sarah, audience review âHigh Hoeâ Edinburgh Fringe 2025
At 39, Anna appeals to all ages who love a naughty laugh. Bouncing with energy, she brings audiences together with warming crowd work and shameless authenticity.
This show is ideal for dates looking for lively conversation topics, hungry singles, tourists who are apologetic about gentrification, families with unresolved tensions, the perverted, silver foxes with knowing smiles and connoisseurs of comedy.
**About Anna**

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!

It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this yearâs Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it âa sure-fired crowd-pleaserâ that âjust might be the feel-good hit of the year!â Others say, âPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerâ thatâs both âhilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carneyâs âlong run of success with yet another charmerâ and âa sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!â

THE BEAST/ La BĂȘte (2023)
In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackayâs Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime.
*The Beast / La BĂȘte* can be streamed for free on Kanopy or the Criterion Channel. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime, AppleTV and YouTube.
