Reads like a Dreamworks or Pixar position, but might be with a TV industry as well or a software company that does a lot of promotions.
I would apply, but can't find anything on there I'm really good at. :D |

Take the concept of 'Up'; their next movie, and add in Wall-E... and you just about have Deep Space Doris.....:D
Now where is John Lasseter's mobile number....:D:D
Joking aside, I believe Little Cloud might just make a lovely little Pixar short movie...:) It is fairly quirky and they could sprinkle a little Pixar magic dust on it... |
