ScreenFish Radio

Directed by Chris Sanders (LILO AND STITCH), THE WILD ROBOT tells the story of Rozim 7134 (Lupita Nyong’o)--aka Roz--a helper robot who lives to serve. However, when she first boots up, she finds herself lost in the wilderness, without any particular orders to follow. But this begins to change though when she meets Brightbill (Kit Connor), an orphaned gosling in need of care. Despite Roz’s protests, Brightbill quickly connects with the bot and she decides to take responsibility for him. Even so, as Brightbill gets older and yearns to fly with the flock, Roz must truly challenge herself in order to help get her adopted son the help that he needs. In this 1on1, we speak to Sanders about parental programming and finding 'joy in the process'.
