A high school paper with "See Me" written in red ink led to a career directing Jerry Seinfeld and leading Steven Spielberg’s most ambitious animated projects.Steve Hickner is a legendary director and animator at DreamWorks, best known for helming The Prince of Egypt and Bee Movie. With over 40 film credits, he has navigated the evolution of animation from hand-drawn cells to the digital revolution.Steve shares how he inadvertently reinvented the history of animation using photo corners and a dining room table lightboard before competing with classmates like Joel Coen and Chris Columbus at NYU. He breaks down the radical cultural shift between the "me" mentality of early Disney and the "we" environment of Steven Spielberg’s Amblin. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at the cupcake-tasting sessions on the set of Bee Movie and why Jerry Seinfeld insisted on reading lines against every single voice actor to elevate the comedy.A rare masterclass for anyone interested in the grit and collaboration required to reach the pinnacle of the film industry.
