I hope im able to make a cartoon when im older. Ive been doing some story writing and been making ideas for cartoons. Steven Universe really inspired me to make stories so im hoping we meet in the future.

Will the CNS Academy ever open again? I know it was launched right before Covid but it seems like that kinda killed it. Here's hoping it comes back this year! Also really nice talk, worry more about execution rather than original ideas.

This is all great and nicely explained but when you try to find e-mail address or submission page there is not any. They mentioned in this talk that they receive hundreds of pitches per year. How? How can you contact Cartoon network? Where is the e-mail or contact page? If you try to find it even through the LinkeIn you can't. All of this development executives are hiding their contacts. So, what is the purpose of this talk named "How to pitch a show to Cartoon network" if there is no way to really contact them?

Nicely done, I particularly like the Q&A

Just trying to join the dots (If I get a screenwriter agent or screenwriter manager, don't they pitch my art work and story to a development executive.

Question. How much money does the creator need to bring up front. Do I need to take out a loan and if accepted can you please explain the outline of the financial terms and conditions deal between the artist and cartoon network
