How's the job market for immigrants right now?

Long story short, I’m a graphic designer from Brazil with 3+ years of experience, and I’m hoping to move to Canada eventually. I already have family there, so I guess that gives me a few points?

This year, I’ve been getting involved in local film projects to start building a portfolio and explore filmmaking. So far, though, I have nothing actually released. Honestly, what I mostly have right now are ideas, a lot of passion, and the willingness to go out there and make things happen.

I know the design market in Vancouver isn’t exactly the strongest, so I’ve been considering diving deeper into filmmaking and seeing where that could take me.

Do you think that’s a possible direction, especially coming from a graphic design background, with not much experience in actual filmmaking?

The story of Bruno

Part one of an animated short series I’m doing about a traveling circus in the 1930s dust bowl era. It follows Bruno, who can absorb objects into his blobby body. Performs for crowds and moonlights as a thief, going town to town stealing anything he can get his hands on. Enjoy!
