The director of the animated feature "Turning Red" became the first woman to solo direct a movie at Pixar. Now she hopes to win her second Oscar.It's a sunny but chilly morning as Domee Shi and Lindsey Collins walk through the Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville.
"It just didn't fell taboo for us because we've all been through it. So I think you are gonna start to see more of these stories that push the boundaries what's taboo because the storytellers are so different now," said Shi.But this is her first Oscar nomination because producers were not included in the best animated feature category until 2013. She views Shi as the next generation of Pixar storytellers.
Collins said the production staff was able to tap into their own experiences growing up as young girls. Making the movie during the pandemic was its own challenge. The team had to spend a lot of time isolated at home and communicating through video calls. "It's just such a surreal and amazing experience to be able to just go there and like meet fellow nominees," said Shi. "To talk to people like Cate Blanchett who's watched it with her kids and loves it. I can't believe this is happening.", about a mother suffering from empty nest syndrome.
