Stuck between graduation and that first role? No experience, no contacts, and no clear way in? This is where you start.
Porcelain Studios is launching its first short film, Seagull Heist — a mixed-media (2D/3D) animated project created to give graduates real production experience in a structured studio environment.
This isn’t a simulation or a classroom exercise. It’s a live project with a clear production framework, defined roles, and a shared goal: to deliver a completed short film.
The project was built by someone who understands how difficult it is to secure that first role without industry experience — and what’s actually needed to get there. You’ll work as part of a team, follow a production process, and contribute to something tangible you can point to.
