DEADLINE: What was your inspiration for In the Stars?
The story is that they were one of the last nations in South America that were colonized.
Their colonization was happening even less than a hundred years ago, and they were hunting people.
“In the Stars”Disney+/Lucasfilm Ltd.
It was a very, very rough and terrible story of colonization.
DEADLINE: Why choose stop motion for the animation style?
OSORIO: It really is a mixture of formats, but its mostly CG.
So, it has that flavor that it looks handmade.
OSORIO: I lost my father when I was very young, when I was like four years old.
Even as a child, I started writing stories.
