Peter Sohn, director of Elemental, will join VIEW Conference 2023 in person to speak about the film, with a special presentation in which he talks about the creative journey he took to bring the movie to the screen. Elemental is Sohn’s second outing as an animated feature director, following his previous success with Disney and Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur. Both films were produced by Denise Ream.
Peter Sohn joined Pixar Animation Studios in 2000, working in the art and story departments for Finding Nemo.

Sohn is also the voice talent behind a number of Pixar’s most memorable characters, including Emile in Ratatouille, Scott ‘Squishy’ Squibbles in Monsters University, and SOX in Lightyear.
