I was an animator for a while early on, but a 2D animator.
A director can come from anywhere, but having a story background, if you have nothing else, is probably a good thing to have because it's really the one tool you need.
No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.
I'm not really a horror movie fan.
I'm a big comedy fan, and a fan of films.
I started at Pixar the month Monsters Inc. came out.
