APPLE TV
The Making of KEmp powers

Creative Director

It was a privilege to bring Kemp Powers’ words of inspiration to life for this mini-documentary collaboration with Apple TV. As Pixar’s first black writer and director, Kemp Powers explored the contributions and achievements of underrepresented storytellers through the eyes of today’s creators. We envisioned his message through the development of a visual style that takes inspiration from Pixar’s pre-production design process. As creators with a multitude of backgrounds, Kemp’s words truly resonated with us and his conversation encompasses everything that inspires us about the future of creativity and our industry as a whole.

By combining Kemp’s interview, introspective designs, and a jazz music track, we structured a narrative that would thoughtfully convey his message of inspiration to the audience. It was a thrill to discover the handcrafted creativity in the spot; to visualize the evolution of Pixar’s preproduction process that would metaphor Kemp’s words.
