“I won't lie: I stayed up late to watch The Mandalorian on Monday night, as soon as the new Disney+ streaming service went fully operational. I'm a Star Wars geek and I could wait no longer. With that out of the way -- it was great -- I want to make sure you watch the best film on the platform: the Pixar original animated short Float. Directed by story artist Bobby Rubio, Float is the first Pixar film ever to feature Filipino American characters. In Float, a father discovers that his is son is different from other kids in the most unusual way. To keep them both safe from judgement, Dad covers him and keeps him out of sight -- but when his son's ability becomes public, Dad must decide whether to run and hide or to accept his son as he is. Rubio originally conceived the story as a comic... with a significant difference. The characters were white. "Don't people want to see that?" Rubio asked himself, when confronted about the characters' ethnicity. "I don't know if people want to see a Filipino American character. That hit me. And I was like, 'Okay. I'm going to do this. They're going to be Filipino American and I'm going to tell my story.'" This seven-minute film had me in tears. Float is dedicated to Rubio's son, who is autistic. The film was a way to tell the story of their relationship. While the film's fantastical tale was inspired by autism, Float could be the story of any child's difference... and the acceptance by his parent, wholly and fully. Read the full piece here

Saw this on IG and wanted to share it here also since I’m sure there’s a lot of artists and writers (heck, everyone doing anything creative) who may be struggling with their craft right now

“My advice to aspiring artists is to tell your unique story from your own individual point of view. Your voice will help you make decisions and artistic choices. Art is a process and you are constantly learning and making progress by continually practicing and doing your craft.”

-Bobby Rubio, story artist and SparkShort director of “Float” at Pixar Animation Studios in celebration of Filipino American History Month.
