This Concept Proposal I made was very time consuming and I spent so much work on the Budget Writing as well as the Pitch writing, and had to create a resume specifically tailored for them.

HUBweek Boston 2018 did a huge promotional stream on Facebook in the middle of 2018 which I sat in on LIVE, (this was before I left FB). They had different categories and wanted a lot of various stuff. They made a big deal about the Experimental ones, that played with technology as well as instillation, so I made my Proposal with Video Projection Mapping and Instillation Sculpture Art.

People could stand in front of the wings and use special #hashtags for social Media during the event.

This was the highest paying one. But instead they went with smaller proposals and cut that category out entirely. Its really too bad, because I KNOW mine would've been FRONT PAGE in the Boston Herald and Local TV News.

The reason I went for the biggest Category was because they actually pushed & urged people in the main stream to try that because you could potentially get even more than the listed amount of funds if they liked what you did, and had more funds. But, they only mentioned this shortly. I figured more people would want the easier categories, and I was right. But, they seemed to want to spread out the funds to more artists at the smaller level and dropped the Experimental Category totally.

I'm NOT afraid to take risks, or push for harder things at all. The problem was, even tho' they claim you could reach out to them for any questions you had, it was too difficult to actually get to talk with anyone so they could get to know you, and actually understand your idea. So, since they wouldn't, and couldn't actually be open to really discussing things with me, my proposal was just a drop in the bucket floating on the ocean.

It's unfortunate that they did not even try to reach out to me, and only answered 1 of my emails. Calling them was also fruitless. My proposal actually would have been Front Page News worthy and was tailored for Social Media like Instagram.

I had to spend over a week working on my Budget for the proposal, and explain what the funds were used for. I also had to include which artists I wanted to work with. It's really their loss, because I know my work would've been something really special. Whenever I took the time to explain someone what it was, it didn't take long really. I also really feel they made a huge blunder overlooking my proposal, and not keeping an open communication with me.
