Director Statement

For the story of Pirate Lesson, I had a lot of fun brainstorming with the crew about our experiences on learning how to drive, bouncing off jokes from each other, and then trying to combine everything. I’ve loved this entire process of watching concept art come to life by the whole crew’s hard work and I can’t wait for y’all to see it!
