I’m extremely stressed every day and I barely sleep
Been working on a pitch for a year now and the storyboard keeps getting delayed by an artist who keeps finding other priorities despite already having my money. I’m over $5k deep in the project and I’m terrified of what could happen should it not be successfully pitched.
On top of that, I lost my job in 2018 and have been working as a live in caretaker for children since then. It pays abysmally and demands being on call 24/7. So I don’t even get a quarantine vacation like everyone else, but I still have the financial insecurity. I can’t leave this because I can’t find work, but I still have a car loan I can’t get out of for another 3 years, so I’m stuck in a position where selling this pitch is the only way I can even get on my feet.
I’ve been networking like crazy in the LA animation community, and I’ve got some decent connections, but a job hasn’t materialized from any of it.
