Masters of Storytelling

Chris Copeland is uniquely himself. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Chris grew up inspired by graffiti, comics, his siblings, and was moved to tell stories with pen and ink from a young age.   Chris moved to LA in 2009 where he would break into animation as a storyboard artist at Warner Bros Animation. After years of successfully navigating around the industry and learning storytelling at various studios including Marvel, Cartoon Network and Titmouse Animation to name a few, Chris had his directorial debut on the hit Netflix show, "Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeasts" at Dreamworks. He then served as a co-showrunner with his brother Justin on Robert Kirkman’s “Invincible” animated tv show for Amazon, before they both returned to Dreamworks Feature Animation as co-directors on a feature in development as well as co-supervising producers on two new TV series in development at the studio.   In this episode of Masters of Storytelling, Maya talks to Chris about the value of living authentically, why diverse teams lend to more interesting stories, and why we should all be more like peaches.     For more information about Chris Copeland and the Copeland Brothers: https://bit.ly/3uybOiM    For more information about BRC: https://bit.ly/3B4RDKB    Follow BRC on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3a9OJsu 

What’s the most powerful way to put an idea into the world? A good story. And behind all the stories we love are human beings: storytellers. BRC Imagination Arts presents Masters of Storytelling, a new podcast about the legendary people, ideas, and strategies that have redefined how we think about storytelling, across every medium: from books to the board room, film to physical spaces. Hosted by BRC’s Marketing Director, Maya Guice, each episode offers candid conversations with the world’s greatest storytellers, illustrating each subject’s unique point of view, atypical career trajectories, lessons in grit, and key insights into how each storyteller translates the principles of storytelling into their own creative practice and process.  Ultimately, Masters of Storytelling is a celebration of the people who tell stories and the people who bring them to life: the designers, producers, writers, technicians, business leaders and creative minds who tell stories that change not only how we think about the world, but our relationship to it.  For more information on BRC: https://bit.ly/3B4RDKB Follow BRC on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3a9OJsu
