Domee Shi - Director, VP, Screenwriter & Storyboard Artist at PIXAR Animation Studios (Bao, Turning Red)

In today's episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Domee Shi. Domee is a Chinese-Canadian Director & VP, Screenwriter & Storyboard Artist at PIXAR Animation Studios (pinch me!)

In this interview, we talk all about how Domee's childhood love of drawing, manga and anime turned into an education at Sheridan college starting out in storyboarding then finally, into a career at one of the biggest animation studios in the world.

She started out as an intern, storyboarding on Inside Out & The Incredibles 2, to name a few, and has now gone on to make her Oscar-winning short Bao and has also directed her first feature length, Turning Red. She's currently co-directing on an upcoming feature-length, Elio, due for release in 2025.
