On September 14th 2021, Miranda Newman, Alex Sheriff, and Laura Onderwater pitched their latest passion projects AFTERNOON and Re:Claim at Maker Boost’s Pitch Your Project event. More on the event below.
About Pitch Your Project
This Maker Boost monthly jam session is an intimate gathering with our active community members that happens on the second Tuesday of every month. The main reason we host this event is to give people an opportunity to get feedback on a project they’re working on, from a community of creatives, at any stage of their process (ideation, production, promotion, etc.)! The event runs for an hour, where two people pitch one project for 30 mins each with ample time for feedback and discussion.
Contact us if you’d like to pitch your own project or attend the event to share your feedback on creative projects.
