Edwin Change was a simulation technical director at Pixar. He submitted his idea for Wind and then took time off from his job to create the animated movie. It was inspired by his family’s story. Wind is a love letter to his grandmother. His grandmother raised Chang’s father as a single mother. Eventually, she saved enough money to send him to the United States for a better life. It was a huge sacrifice to let her son so that he could live better.
If you haven’t seen the Pixar short, Float, I t is worth seeing. It would be great for students to see and realize that it is okay to be different “Pixar Animation Studios and the SparkShorts filmmakers of FLOAT are in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American communities against Anti-Asian hate in all its forms. We are proud of the onscreen representation in this short and have decided to make it widely available, in celebration of what stories that feature Asian characters can do to promote inclusion everywhere.”
