10 Lessons From a Decade Behind the Scenes at Pixar

Sunday, March 15
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 17B
Austin Convention Center

For over a decade, Pixar's in-house documentary crew has been telling the story of how the studio's films are made. Documentary Directors Tony Kaplan and Erica Milsom, working with their stellar team, have captured over 1200 hours of footage with artists, animators, directors, voice actors, cooks, coordinators and composers on every film Pixar's ever made. Photo Editor / Photographer Debby Coleman captures studio life from early film pitches to celebratory events around the world, always looking for moments that show the time and place, but will also define the Pixar community when future generations look back on the company's history. Together we'll share never-before-seen footage and lessons learned from observing the artists of Pixar in their own environments.
