S05E09: Brenda Chapman — Perpetual Storyteller
Growing up the youngest of five in rural Illinois, Brenda
Chapman's passion for drawing was encouraged by her mother.
Working her way through school, Brenda began her formal
studies at Illinois College before applying and being rejected
by CalArts.
Brenda did eventually make it to CalArts where she met Joe Ranft,
an encounter that changed the trajectory of her career.
Over the course of this conversation, Brenda shares her experience
in the industry, from her first animation job on Hulk Hogan's Rock
'n' Wrestling and early career at Disney, writing and directing the
Oscar®-winning Brave, the importance of mentorship, and how she
stays creative.
