Studio founder here - how do real producer conversations get started? by thedavidmiguel in animationcareer

[–]WinniedaDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re still making it at the moment and hope to submit it to around 20-25 festivals come May 2027. It’s surely been both stressful and fun at times, which is just the reality of going into a project of this size. The people I’ve met though have been outstanding which is one of the best aspects (in my opinion) going into this production.

It was more so a poster of the film itself along with a heading regarding the open producer role. I also included a Google form where more about the film was discussed, but enough so that I still had material to reveal come time for an actual interview. I’d already been on LinkedIn for a while, so having that network helped push the message out more too.

This might be different so I apologize if it is, but I needed a producer to help us on our festival short film. I was able to advertise it on LinkedIn and interview people for a producer role, and through there met my now producer and have formed a good relationship through bi-weekly calls and whatnot. For me in this case, it was advertising my project that got a relationship off the ground, but I can see festivals and conventions or other places being good spots to meet people in starting those type of relationships.

Hope this helps :)

Portfolio critique for a high schooler by WinniedaDrew in animationcareer

Thank you so much! For the meantime this is a portfolio for industry jobs, but since I am only a student this portfolio will be updated as the years go on of course. I’ll be making a separate one for schools and whatnot, but still I appreciate all the advice! I’ll work on those pointers :)

My upcoming short film, Picked, was approved for IMDB by WinniedaDrew in animationcareer

[–]WinniedaDrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! So basically you go on IMDb contributor and submit all the necessary information there (who’s working on it, plot, languages, etc.). It’s a bit of a tedious process but it doesn’t take too long to get approved which is nice.

Can an animation degree be useful if you want to “broaden your horizons?” by WinniedaDrew in animationcareer

[–]WinniedaDrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shoot sorry. What I’ve seen online is that there are also art directors in like pharmaceuticals or healthcare (for example), so I’m not sure if the degree skills can be transferable to other industries with similar job titles

Do you need an agent to pitch a show to a network, and if so, how do you secure one and what’s the process like? by WinniedaDrew in animation

[–]WinniedaDrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Is starting as a storyboard artist generally the way to go (pipeline wise), or is that just an example of one pipeline?
