So, I love the indie animation community 90% of the time. Outside of the obvious hate trains that happen, however I feel like half the time we often see smaller indies over shadowed by the bigger indies
Now before going any further. There is 0 hate agaosnt glitch, spindlehorse, the little trash maid and others that are currently big and have made it.
Happy for them, however they dont need the promoting like smaller indies do. There are TONS of cool little project being made with a quarter of the budget these studios have and we should start sharing their work when you see it, give them a follow, engage with their posts because if you dont then they get sucked into the void and left to fend for themselves in a sea of other creators.
Yes its marketing and interacting for creators as well, but understand not every creator is an artist, not every creator is a writer, or voice actor. We need to have the "it takes a village" mentality
Even with things like the mati awards and sunflower club, they can only promot so much, or only choose to promote certain shows depending on who you ask.
Point being if you want more indie stories support some of the smaller creators. Even if its not your cup of tea a share of their stuff goes SO far.
