Patrick Kling | How To Break Into The Themed Entertainment Industry, Black Out Tuesday & More

On June 2, 2020 Blackout Tuesday was a collective action against
racism and police brutality. The action, originally initiated
within the music industry in response to the killings of George
Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. Other industries
followed suit to acknowledge the moment. Nickelodeon demonstrated
support for the Black Lives Matter movement by going off the air
for 8 minutes and 46 seconds and sharing a message about kids'
rights. Patrick Kling, The Associate Art Director for Nickelodeon
Experience Design decided to take this initiative a step further
by going to Twitter and creating the space for individuals to
connect with him one on one about how to break into the industry
and support.


In this episode, Patrick shares his journey along with some tips,
resources, and advice on how to break into the themed
entertainment industry.
