In The Inventor, co-directors Jim Capobianco (Academy Award nominated writer of Ratatouille) and Pierre-Luc Granjon (La Grosse Bête, Molly in Springtime) bring to life one of the most insatiably curious and headstrong inventors in the world, Leonardo da Vinci. In this Work in Progress, Jim Capobianco will be on hand to discuss this much anticipated film with clips and images. He will address the creative choices he made with Granjon for their stop-motion and 2-D drawn adventure film and how they work as a team from LA and the South of France.

The Inventor is voiced by erudite comedian Stephen Fry (Leonardo) and Star Wars hero Daisy Ridley (Marguerite), and Marion Cotillard as Queen Louise, backed by a stellar creative team, including animation director Kim Keukeleire (Isle of Dogs, Fantastic Mr. Fox), and Tomm Moore (Wolfwalkers).
