2025/09/22

If you’re making a short that’s longer than five minutes, be strategic about why. In this episode I break down how to pick a runtime that aligns with your endgame: aiming for TV? Make a 22-minute or 45-minute cut so it functions like a real pilot. Targeting kids’ TV? Try ~12 minutes so two stack into a half-hour block. Building a proof-of-concept for a feature? Keep it lean—ideally 5 minutes or less—so the idea hits fast (think Lights Out). Bottom line: your runtime should open doors, not close

Big life/work update! I just hit send on a major application to Annecy’s Residency for The Arbiters (our indie anime-style feature) — huge milestone and real momentum.

Every artist loves the rush of motivation—the spark of a new idea, the thrill of inspiration. But motivation doesn’t last. The true test is turning that spark into consistent self-discipline.

2025/09/05

Storyboarding is the backbone of any animated project, and over time I’ve developed a process that keeps things clear and collaborative—especially when working remotely. In this episode, I break down my approach: starting with a detailed shot list, pulling visual references (or even filming with action figures when needed), and creating floor plans to map the action. From there, I hand everything to the animator, answer their questions, and review their first draft of boards. Each new round builds

Stop Saying “No Rush”: Why Clear Deadlines Matter

2025/09/04

Deadlines aren’t just about dates—they’re about trust. In this episode, I break down why vague requests like “no rush” or “get it to me Tuesday or Wednesday” set everyone up for confusion and disappointment. If you really need something by Wednesday, say Wednesday. And if you secretly want it by Monday, be honest about that too. Clear, specific deadlines create clarity, reduce stress, and build respect between collaborators. On the flip side, if you’re the one receiving work, don’t settle for fuzzy

It’s tempting to think “someone else will handle it”—that politicians, activists, celebrities, or organizations are better equipped to solve the world’s problems. But when we push responsibility outward, we shrink our own capacity for impact.The truth is this: you are 100% responsible for 100% of the relationships in your life—family, friends, neighbors, colleagues. And those connections are where real change begins. In this episode, I explore why local responsibility isn’t just the most effective
