Edwin Chang, the director of the Pixar Sparkshort 'Wind,' will screen his short film and discuss its inspiration and process of making it. 'Wind' is inspired by his family's history of immigration after the Korean War and in particular by the experiences of his grandmother and father. In 'Wind,' a boy and grandmother live their lives falling down a massive, never-ending hole. Together they scavenge falling debris to build an escape, hoping to find a better life in the outside world. 

Edwin Chang joined Pixar Animation Studios in 2005 as an intern and has since worked on several films such as “Up,” “Inside Out,” “Coco” and theme park attractions “Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage” and “Toy Story Midway Mania!” Chang was the Simulation Supervisor on “Inside Out” and the Crowds and Simulation Supervisor on “Cars 3.” Chang also wrote and directed “Wind,” which is part of Pixar’s SparkShorts program and currently streaming on Disney+. Most recently he worked as the Shots Supervisor on the upcoming Disney+ streaming series, “Win or Lose.” He originates from Los Angeles and studied Computer Science and Art Semiotics at Brown University before starting at Pixar.
