A Pixar engineer became a director to tell his immigration story in 'Wind' on Disney+

The film is part of the company’s SparkShorts program, which taps new Pixar talent to develop a personal project. Edwin Chang, the writer and director of the film, actually came from a technical rather than artistic background. After submitting his idea, he was selected for the program and took a sabbatical from the coding department to craft an animated ode to his family history with help from producer Jesus Martinez and a team of animators.
