What It Really Takes to Make a Hit Indie Cartoon

Indie animated shows are blowing up online — but what looks like overnight success usually isn’t overnight at all. If you’re developing your own animated series and wondering how you’re supposed to compete with pilots getting hundreds of thousands (or millions!) of views, you should give this video a watch. I’m breaking down what it ACTUALLY takes to build an original IP and an audience around it — from creating something people can latch onto, to building a community, putting your work out there, and having the stamina to keep going when success doesn’t happen immediately. As someone who’s spent years creating and developing animated shows — both inside the studio system and independently with Strawberry Vampire — I’ve learned that there’s a whole lot of runway behind the projects that seem to suddenly explode. So if you’re starting with 200 followers and a dream: don’t count yourself out. 🍓 PLUS: Stick around until the end for a BIG update about the future of Strawberry Vampire!
