About this episode
I chat with Writer Producer Pietro Schito about the community he has built around his Write for Animation YouTube channel. We start off by talking about the results of this year's Oscars and how it is good news for Indie filmmakers, especially animators. We talk at length about story telling and what makes a good story. Plus, we go back in time and talk about how Disney comics were big among teens and pre-teens in Italy as well as Disney and Pixar's influence in Pietro's life. And we get advice from a guy who gives it frequently on his channel about how you don't need to "be a writer" to write an animated short or feature, and how the structure of story telling is as old as civilization itself.
