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! This episode is an indie production from your hosts, Jessica Doll & Lauren Morse. Our theme music is provided by Azureflux.
