Show Notes
Film director and animator Jorge Gutierrez grew up crossing the border between Tijuana and San Diego almost every day.
That cross-border experience can be seen in the work Jorge does today.
Jorge is the director of the animated movie, “The Book of Life.” He’s also one of the creators of the hit Nickelodeon show “El Tigre.” And he’s got several new projects coming out on Netflix soon. One of those projects is “Maya and the Three,” an animated series that will be released on Netflix in October.
In today’s bonus episode, which is a recording of a YouTube Live event we had over the summer, we talk to the famed animator about his new show, how his cross-border life has impacted his work and more.
