Leslie Iwerks

The Imagineering Story, premiering on Disney+ Nov. 12.

 

For over a decade, Iwerks has continued to follow in her family’s footsteps by producing, directing, and editing award-winning feature and short documentaries, television specials, and digital content.

On November 12, Iwerks will bring to Disney+, The Imagineering Story, an original series providing a behind-the-scenes look into the sixty-seven year history of Walt Disney Imagineering -- the creative engine that designs and builds all Disney theme parks, resorts, attractions, and cruise ships worldwide!! This is the most access anyone has been given since Walt was alive.

Leslie can of course speak to being a female filmmaker in Hollywood, technology and innovation in addition to her legendary family upbringing inside the Disney juggernaut. Let me know what you think might be possible.
