Talked to Kirsten Lepore, filmmaker and animator extraordinaire. Lepore is writer, director and producer of the #IAmGroot Marvel animated shorts out today on Disney+. Lepore, who found inspiration for what she calls Toddler Groot in her own son, is also animation director of "Marcel The Shell With Shoes On,” her feature film debut. ❤️ Remember #HiStranger, her 2016 viral video? Watch Lepore’s inventive, dreamy, emotional and arresting short films and stop-motion animation in the story! @kirstenlepore @marcelthemovie @marvelstudios 🧔🏻************LINK IN BIO************🎩 Photos: Amanda Edwards/Getty Images; @marvelstudios, @a24, Kirsten Lepore. #animation #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #shortfilm #shortfilms #kirstenlepore #marceltheshell #marceltheshellwithshoeson #film #movies #cinema #marvel #disneyplus #disney #marvelstudios #guardians #groot #a24 #everythingeverywhereallatonce #guardiansofthegalaxy #everythingeverywhere #movie #tv #babygroot #animated #cgi #cg #marvel #nj
