PRESENTATION & MARKETING:
As part of the final evaluation, I prepared an extensive pitch deck and marketing materials, including, competitor analysis, budget planning, teasers, trailers, and other physical promotional materials.
The project received strong positive feedback from visiting industry professionals, particularly for its scope, execution quality, and production value compared to typical student projects.
