In “Making a Film at Pixar,” Grindle will explore the process of crafting a Pixar film. It’s a topic she knows well, having served as the production manager of A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, and as an associate producer on Toy Story 3 and Monster’s University.

“The Culture of Creativity: Pixar” will focus on the environment Pixar creates for its employees to spur collective creativity. Woolf, who launched a groundbreaking in-house mentoring program at Pixar, will share how the studio educates, trains, and inspires staff to create a desirable workplace for creative visionaries.
