Hello again!
I hope you’re all hanging in there as we truly enter what will be a cold, dark, deadly winter. I’m keeping myself distracted by doing further planning for a third stab at the honeymoon in Japan and Thailand that my wife and I were supposed to go on this year. And by planning I mean looking at photos and videos and hoping that we’ll be able to go late this coming spring (not looking all that great?).
I skipped last week’s edition of the newsletter because I didn’t see a critical mass of new job listings, but let know in the comments if you’d rather I send a weekly newsletter even if a given week may not have as many opportunities listed.
In addition to that yes/no survey, here’s our question of the week for the comments section: Of all the creative things you’ve made/written/designed/executed, what’s your favorite? If you can, share it!
Oh, also: Could you share this newsletter with a few people? You can tweet it, forward it over email, whatever you want. The more readers and awareness, the more tips we’ll get on jobs and gigs. I want to get you exclusive opportunities! Please also hit the heart up top to help us rank higher on Substack. Thank you!

For the comments section below: Of all the creative things you’ve made/written/designed/executed, what’s your favorite? If you can, share it!
It's a new project, and probably my most amateur in terms of production quality(I'm a musician trying to get a handle on making videos), but it's something I'm probably the most proud/excited I've been about a project in a long while. It's a horror host format show where I play public domain movies in the vein of Vampira or Svengoolie, I've done a few so far, and have learned quite a bit about video editing in the couple of months I've been doing it. Here's a link if anyone's interested, be warned it's very amateur like I said, but I've had a lot of fun producing it:
