Whereas these Sundance goals by no means materialized, Jones ultimately discovered himself becoming a member of Pixar’s senior inventive staff, the place he labored on movies like “Incredibles 2” and “Toy Story 4” earlier than co-writing the screenplay for “Soul” in 2020 and moving into the showrunner function for “Dream Productions.” Jones credit his sudden profession pivot to Pixar’s willingness to rent writers with out conventional animation backgrounds.

    Jones recalled that his introduction to Pixar got here at an deadlock when he was hesitant to take new writing jobs, however stated that the spirit of collaboration and creativity on the studio reinvigorated him as an artist.

We would like you in these motion pictures. We don’t need you to fall again on stuff that we’ve carried out or stuff that we’ve seen earlier than. We’re searching for one thing distinctive, and we’re searching for characters that folks can totally imagine in.’”

    Jones ended his panel with a notice of encouragement to each artist who continues to be looking for their method within the movie business. The lesson, he stated, isn’t to copy his personal distinctive profession — it’s to embrace the sudden paths that your individual life will inevitably lead you down.
