Hello Everyone! Does anyone have a connection at Netflix ! I am an author/marketing associate and truly my dream job is to work on the team that creates/produces Drive to Survive. I am a huge F1 fan! However, I am willing to start where I can and work my way there! I was laid off due to Covid and just trying to get back into the field and industry I love.

I think creative output dwindles in the winter too. much harder to keep the brain purring past 5 when it’s been dark for 30 minutes and my eyes are bleeding from only looking at screens for 9 months
I think that also the back and forth with production companies and directors is not happening as much in isolation. Just finished shooting some stuff remote and the prod co did a good job buy many many decisions had to be made in isolation to make it work remotely. The end product was fine but I think that rapport you build with your team and with the director etc. is lost and details suffer...
I still see some interesting stuff and good work happening but it seems everything is starting to look the same.
I’ve been fortunate to work with some really talented people and produce the best work of my career, after 10+ years of not great work getting produced. I say that not to brag but to say: keep your head up and keep plugging away. You never know when things will turn.
My momentum is slowly fading. A big part of it is my job hasn’t been fun in awhile. I have nothing to really look forward to and most of my favorite coworkers have left the agency. Pair that with a paralyzing fear that the ad industry won’t ever recover from this because most clients will be penny pinching for at least the next few years.
Indeed. I have nothing but cat content to show.

I told my CD just that: we’re making terrible (but ROI approved) work and we’re embracing it. I said I have zero faith we’re going to make good work ever again. And I have yet to be proven wrong.
This too shall pass.
Not sure whether it’s working in isolation, or because there’s zero new creative input anymore, but I can’t help feeling my work is not as good as it once was. 😬
I personally just feel like I've been so overworked, there hasn't been a chance to do anything "good." A CD I know says that in those crazy moments, real growth happens. And he might be right. But I still feel like I've been producing chicken shit with more rounds of revisions that necessary.
