Fuel for the Rocket
April 22nd, 2008 Posted in Raves
Stumbled across an amazingly relevant interview with Brad Bird, Academy-award winning director of The Incredibles and Ratatouille.
He talks about his journey into Pixar, and his open and collaborative process for creating his films. His policies on keeping an open door, honest feedback, and cultivating the black sheep are right on.
Among the many meaningful take-aways from the piece is his last words at the end:
“Speaking personally, I want my films to make money, but money is just fuel for the rocket. What I really want to do is to go somewhere. I don’t want to just collect more fuel.”
