Summary
Pixar's Hoppers writer, Jesse Andrews, joins Meg to dive into all things Pixar process. They start with Jesse's intriguing journey into writing, from Art History in college to novels to adapting his novel (Me And Earl And The Dying Girl), to animation with his first film, Luca. Then, they talk shop and craft through the lens of the recent fantastically hilarious, high concept, Hoppers. Jesse's collaborative spirit is on full display throughout and really instills the reasoning behind why leaving ego at the door is the key to creating. --- Looking for more support on your writing journey?
