Director Travis Knight

This movie looks awesome, so I looked up the director, Travis Knight, out of curiosity.

It must be nice to have your whole fucking life handed to you:

"Knight began his career as a rapper under the name "Chilly Tee". Utilizing a recording studio built in his father's mansion.

After Travis Knight graduated from Portland State University, Knight's father had become an investor in Will Vinton Studios, and persuaded the company to hire Travis

By 2003, Phil Knight became a controlling shareholder in Will Vinton Studios, which had been losing money due to poor management, and Travis Knight was promoted to the board of directors, despite no management experience himself.

Since 2005, Travis Knight has served as Laika's vice president of animation

He is the current president and CEO of Laika, along with serving on the board of directors of his father's company, Nike, Inc., a position he assumed in 2015.”
