GRAPHIC ARTIST: Movie Poster Design WORKLOOP Challenge

From our monthly showcase events, to panel discussions and radio interviews all the way to a reality TV Appearance on the new “Pitch The Crowd” show that will be airing on Comcast soon! We even got to tour the new Pinewood studios in Fayetteville through the Georgia Production Partnership where we met and made some great connections with industry insiders. It’s an exciting time! Now, with our Kick-starter campaign getting ready to launch on June 8th to help us raise $4,000 and more so we will be able to award our competition winners $3,000 of it and then use the rest to purchase some of the printing materials and signage needed to really make the conference look and feel great, the momentum won’t stop.
