Today's the day! Universal Basic Guys premieres on FOX at 5pm PT! It's my first primetime credit and I'm proud of what our scrappy team at Bento Box whipped up. And now the theme song gets to be stuck in everyone else's head like I have for the past 2 years. Give it a watch!

That was fast

People are going to find things to be upset about either way. The biggest backlash seems to be coming from the issue of "filmmaking by committee" already, so your solution is to expand the committee?
Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash.
“They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds of changes.”

New episodes of Gremlins: The Wild Batch out on Max!
Remember trying to make Director @gostephgo laugh with these old beats of new bad boy Chang giving kids cigarettes ❌🤭 voiced by @SimuLiu

Too many thoughts for one post but w/ my last two projects having 90% of artist roles shipped out overseas, it's crushingly lonely work missing that collaborative spark that made me fall in love with animation work. AI will make it even worse. Bring back the art! Support humans!
Yo, I'm Andrew Guastaferro, and I greased the wheels as a production worker on some kickass projects like Bojack Horseman & the Gremlins prequel series, & I wrote funny words for Wacky Races and Batwheels. Currently Writers' Assistant on Universal Basic Guys! #StandWithAnimation

The fun part is not having to imagine it because it's already happened to me twice. 🙃
Imagine working on a show for years, putting your all into it, only for it to premiere and get removed from existence shortly after. These shows deserve to be watchable, even if they don’t continue. What the hell is the point of streaming if not?

Production #animation workers keep shows and films running smoothly, playing a vital role in the creative process. They deserve the same protections and support. This week let's #StandWithProduction!

Did you know @WarnerBros @CartoonNetwork Production workers are also fighting for a fair contract right now? Today, all animation employees gathered together to show their support for our production kin! #StandWithProduction #StandWithAnimation #ManyCraftsOneFight
Asked for just one day's wage to cover all prep work (reading materials to catch up on show, reading notes & writing pitches to solve them, meetings w/EP to kick off each episode step) for the entire script assignment from premise to final. Denied.
The freelance model is absurd.
A shift from staff work to freelance is creating job insecurity in #animation and inconsistent work that doesn't pay enough to sustain a career or life. #StandWithAnimation @freestyles_ramo @_angelamsanchez
