For Disney’s Brendan Gottlieb, the showcase director and a program mentor, helping students push their artistic capabilities, especially since they’re focused on character performance typically without lighting, sound, or even clothes, means getting a team together to give each project the ‘feature treatment’ and bring its story to life.
