Countdown: ten days to MIPCOM
I’m starting to get hyped/nervous about this trip. We’ve got meetings with some foreign broadcasters and fun-looking animation studios, which is great. I was kind of freaking out that nobody would want to talk to us over there and I’d quit my job for nothing.

Recording Session 04, Aliens, Rejection
