Conversations with filmmakers selected to the festival.
When you think of a grandmother, what comes to mind? Wrestlemania? Masked Luchadores? In Louis Gonzales’ Pixar short Nona, he takes a sweet look at the relationship between a wrestling-loving grandmother and her precocious 5-year-old granddaughter. In this interview, story artist (and now director) Louis Gonzales and producer Courtney Kent discuss his own memories with his grandmother, the challenges of working remotely and directing for the very first time.
