Looking for a Storyboard Artist for a short film about monsters. This is a non pay job.

"The 80s synth is working its magic. It’s night. A guy opens a garage door. He gets inside. While looking for things, the garage appears to have the life scraps of a 35-year-old, full of 80s toys and electronics, memorabilia that brings joy and recaps less stressful times. We can hear the guy looking for something. A strident noise. Something fell into the floor. Dust settles down revealing a book with sketches of monsters that he drew as a child."
