Moving here over 2 and a half years ago I knew I would never stay.
I just didn't know when I would leave. I told myself, a good 2 years of industry experience, maybe 3 but definitely 2, would satisfy me and then I could go home. That 2 year mark hit a few months ago without me noticing and for a while I felt lost or stuck. I wasn't finished here, I wasn't ready to go home. I don't want to go home. I've been away so long that I'm no longer relevant to people I knew and what if just like last time, after all my experience I was still unemployable there? The thing is, I really don't want to stay here either. Where else do I go then? I had been asking life this question most of this year. What is next for me? What am I supposed to do? With sudden and yet perfect timing I learnt about a job opening at Studio Ghibli for two positions. One for an inbetweener. As much as the prestige around a job like is, things like working on Hayao Miyazaki's possible last film and working at one of the worlds most well known studios, I knew I could not pass up at least going for this opportunity. Animation is bigger than me. My dreams are bigger than me and I have to aim high to keep up. You bet I applied for that position. And now my fate is in the hands of the universe. Comments are closed.
