Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is storyboard revisionist, Kristen Pileri!
She shares how she went from production assistant to storyboard revisionist and how she pushed herself forward even when she felt all her hard work wouldn’t pay off.
Some people love working in production, but it just wasn’t for her. She did her job the best she could, but at some point, she decided to stand up for herself and not to let anyone forget that she wanted to be an artist. Meanwhile, she is a champion of camaraderie among the crew and loves to promote a healthy work/life balance as much as possible.

Today's guest is background painter and visual development artist, Audrey Gonzalez.
“Be prepared. Be genuine.”
These words are my favorite take away from speaking with Audrey, and I can’t wait for you to take a listen! We discuss being in the right place and right time and how it really doesn’t matter if you’re not prepared for that opportunity. She shares the research process that goes into working on an animated series inspired by latin cultures, how she came up with personal rates for freelance opportunities, and how she’s used social media to connect to a community when she wasn't near one. Audrey started the portfolio day hashtag on Twitter and Instagram where she promotes artists who are ready for opportunity and looking for work! She’s genuine and lovely and I can’t wait for you to meet her.
A wonderful interview to get you pumped for 2020.
