I’M FINE! is the project that focuses on the ways to maintain mental health and stay motivated and productive in a world that changes every minute.

According to Forbes, in the modern world, every second person has experienced emotional burnout. However, research does not say what percentage of these people were able to overcome this problem independently. Scientists say that creative industry representatives are most likely to be exposed to emotional burnout.

I’M FINE! is a reflection on the emotional burnout from the best independent animation creators. In addition to animation films, the project will present a series of interviews and podcasts on Skwigly with artists who share their experiences of going through emotional burnout, as well as workshops and master classes devoted to this issue.
