In many ways, Colin Levy has lived the dream of many Blender artists. He directed the Blender open movie, Sintel, right out of college, landed a job at Pixar, and later quit the 9 to 5 to pursue his dream of creating a television series called Skywatch after his short film of the same title took off and attracted a lot of attention. In recent years though, the Skywatch project has stalled out, gotten dropped by multiple studios, and Colin has been learning the hard way how difficult breaking into Hollywood as a writer and director can be. In this episode, Kent sits down with Colin at BCON LA to talk about the current state of Skywatch and what Colin has learned about mental health after watching his decade long dream slowly die... for now.
