When Life Interrupts Creativity…
July 2025 Here is your reminder and permission slip: Starting over is scary. I had the footage. I had the story, but I didn't feel ready to share, to come back, until now. I moved back to NYC exactly a year ago. I thought that by fall of 2024 I would've been back to creating podcasts and YouTube videos but I couldn't bring myself to film. I wasn't inspired, and I was still in navigating the tail end of the acceptance stage of grief, losing the life I spent the last few years curating and...

When this happens, I often find that my productivity decreases. It feels like I've imposed a mental block on myself, knowing that I need to tidy things up in...
Podcast Highlights: Animation, Insight, and a Little Fun
It's been two years since I released an episode of my podcast. When I published my previous episode, I knew it would be my last episode for a while. Despite the time passing, I've been able to keep people engaged by posting clips of my episodes during this hiatus. I think that the beauty of creating is to create and not to chase trends or popularity. My episodes still hold a lot of value, resources, and insight. This month, I'd like to highlight a few of my standout episodes. What is "Simply...

The Art of Storytelling in Animation: What Makes a Short Film Stand Out
Welcome back! I am currently producing my second indie short film and I've had the pleasure of working on the upcoming short film based on last year's movie Spellbound. That is why this month, I'm dedicating the newsletter to (animated) short film production. I've worked in feature film in the animation industry for over 10 years and I have worked in may parts of the production pipeline from when the director is working with writers on the script, to when they bring on artists to start...
