This chat features Jim Capobianco, known best for storyboarding on movies like The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Up, as well as his writing credits on Ratatouille, and The Inventor. This chat focuses mainly on The Inventor, which Capobianco wrote, and directed from a 2D short film into a stop motion feature - over the course of 14 years. He also shares how hard it was to pitch, what it took to get it funded, and the full experience of what it was like producing the feature in such a short amount of time.

Tune in to Ibele and Capobianco to hear:
*How Capobianco managed to get over ten million in funding
*Why Capobianco decided to produce the film in stop motion when he had no experience in it
*What sacrifices Capobianco had to make while filming The Inventor
