Cool. Where do I pitch? Got some PG13 wildly inventive animated horror features, if they're serious about this. Oh, what's that? You can't just pitch to Disney. Ok. Back into the ground I crawl. This industry is being starved to death by gatekeepers.

Unpopular Opinion: Y’all aren’t ready to have this convo. Let that sink in. I’ll wait. While we’re at it, normalize saying it louder for the people in back. Don’t know who needs to hear this, I said what I said. Make it make sense. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
