I work in animation. It’s always been bad for us, now it’s even worse. I took my savings and I’m now trying to start a game company cause I’m over it. I don’t trust any company making TV or Film rn.

Since the strikes & uptake of AI it’s weird energy . The film industry is going through what the record labels went thru… storytelling will be different, power shifts & less reliance on big actors .
