About the manager
In the chair of direction figure Peter Sonn, who previously took the reins of the film a big dinosaur (2015), also produced by Pixar. For the same company, he also wrote and directed the short film Partly cloudy (2009). And as a curious fact, he has also given the voice in English to several endearing characters from this franchise; for example, the gluttonous rat Emile de ratatouille (2007), the optimistic squishy monster of Monsters University (2013) and the robotic cat SOX by lightyear (2022).
On the other hand, with Elementary —his second feature film as a director—, Sohn intends to tell a story about the coexistence of diverse and apparently incompatible beings, but who together make up a community of enormous wealth and multicolor. This is how he perceived his surroundings when, decades ago, he was a boy of Korean descent growing up in New York.
“My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling grocery store in the Bronx,” the director recounted (via Variety). “We were among many families who ventured into a new land with hopes and dreams, all mixed in a huge salad bowl of cultures, languages, and beautiful small neighborhoods. That’s what led me to Elementary”.
