Welcome back to Part 02 of our conversation with DeadEndia creator and showrunner - and pitch extraordinaire - Hamish Steele!
Last episode we talked about how the original DeadEndia story drew from some of the real life experiences Hamish and his friends had, and how our own real life experiences are, and can be, reflected in the shows that we watch and create.
Now in Part 02, we’re picking up again as Hamish considers what’s most important about DeadEndia that he really wanted to protect as it became an animated show, as well as:
- Plenty of pitching advice gleaned from Hamish’s years of experience (including a link on diyanimation.show to his pitching webinar, 'How to Pitch Perfectly'!)
- How collaboration can bolster representation and amplify others’ voices
- Hamish’s wonderfully straight-forward answer to ‘guilty’ pleasures
- And his dearest wish for DeadEndia, and how you can help make it happen!

Making an Impact - ‘Mila’ Creator Cinzia Angelini and Producer Andrea Emmes (Part 1) :: DIYA #18
We’re here with Writer, Director, and Creator Cinzia Angelini and Producer Andrea Emmes to discuss 'Mila', an incredible 3D short film raising awareness about children impacted by war.
Cinzia has a personal connection with this short film - Mila is based on her mother’s own childhood experience of bombing raids in her hometown during World War II. With Andrea Emmes on board as Mila's producer, these two have become an unstoppable team that has grown to a world-wide production.
A 350-volunteer, 35-country spanning, high-quality CG short film, Mila has thrived since 2011 with no studio backing and just a modest funding campaign to cover the film’s bare essentials. A community of volunteers, a few sponsors, many hours, and a whole lot of love made Mila possible.
Today in Part 1, Cinzia and Andrea tell us about:
- The story of Mila’s real-life origins
- Running a professional studio on volunteers, donations, and an Indiegogo campaign
- Managing a GIANT team spread across the whole planet
- The best places to spend what money you do have once you've raised it
- And how to create a healthy working environment for your volunteers through paying it forward
