I had someone fall asleep during my pitch at a pitch festival. He apologized. Said he was up all night at parties. I just plowed through the pitch. Said "nice to meet you" and moved on.
Finish your pitch for everyone else and when they wakeup, *tell them your pitch in 7 words.* Give them your contact, if they think it could be better: call you for a better version; if they like it then call you for a followup.

Great response. :) Guess networking can be strenuous work.
So, you have a movie for me?
Yes sir, I do.
We all know what there is after this line... Whoops! Whoopsie
Yes, sir. I do.
pretty good example of stranger than fiction 😂 what a wild pitch meeting.
thank you both for the insights and wisdom!
I so needed this today 🤣 I'm gonna stick to pushing my audiobooks 🎧
What would you do if someone fell asleep during your pitch?
Try to steal the snacks on their desk.
Slap the table and play it off as and exciting part of the story that he just missed
Set off pyrotechnics and say, "...that's when Michael Bay green-lighted the project."

Well, you put 'em to sleep. So it's your job to wake 'em up. That's just being polite. :)
Nobody comes close to sleep during my pitches! Cheers Film Courage!!
TY Mark!
