  • Marshall reconnects with his friend Chris Appelhans to discuss his journey from working as an artist on movies like Monster House and Coraline to writing and directing his first animated and independent feature film, Wish Dragon. Chris tells his story on how he came to the realization he wanted to get into animation, how his time living in China influenced his film, and the importance of mastering “the pitch” if you want to get a movie made.

    I am also curious how many listeners are interested in visual storytelling! I started out in animation and am now pursuing making my own graphic novels. To that end, I recently started taking writing classes. Telling my own stories with my own art has been a goal of mine for a long time. This interview really resonated with me. Chris's story is quite inspiring.

    I'm very happy I listened to this episode, since there was a lot of backlash in the communities I partake in over a Chinese story being told a western company. Seeing the passion and empathy Chris Appelhans has when speaking of China and the people in his life really makes me excited for the movie.

    One thing that i realize just recently it was that actually the thing that its actually maked me want to work in movies and videogames it wasnt the actual drawing or the modeling , it was actually the story when i think about many years ago i started to making trailers and edit them or even before making little comics-like just having 8 years old, or more recently playing games like last of us part 2 , uncharted or seeing anime series of genious like satoshi kon and works like paprika or perfect blue the thing that every one had in common was the story, the message, the interpretation that left me.The passion that i have about it it makes me actually to want to being involve in create stories like them , i have been drawing for almost two years and i have been improving very much and actually enyoing the process mostly , but now that i think about it what i want to do its be part of some team to actually create worlds and characters that provoque the same feelings. If someone have some idea of what actually i should be funeling all the efforts to reach that goal i would appreciate the help. cheers

      Same here man. I've tried writing short stories then screenplays then storyboards for my imaginary movies then now drawing. I've realized that it's all about me wanting to express myself through stories through whatever medium I'm interested in at the time. I love the catharsis that I feel when I consume stories, and I want to make other people feel the same way with my own.
