Death, Kung Fu, and Courage with Jorge R. Gutierrez

Today we're with Jorge R. Gutiérrez - the visionary animator, filmmaker, and storyteller behind The Book of Life, Maya and the Three, and some of the most vibrant, soulful worlds in contemporary animation. Jorge doesn’t just make art, he makes myth. He takes our stories, our ancestors, our jokes, our heartbreaks, our colors, and he turns them into epic universes where brown kids get to be heroes, warriors, lovers, and legends. We talk creativity as devotion, holding onto your roots while dreaming wildly, and what it means to stay true to your corazón in an industry that tries to shape you.
