Travis Knight is not your run of the mill studio CEO, nor your usual animator … or film director or that matter. It's fair to say that the 43-year-old multi-hyphen filmmaker comes to movie via an entirely original route. The son of Nike founder and chairman Phil Knight (and ex rapper) Knight began to follow his passion as intern-to-animation pioneer Will Vinton, he cut his stop-motion teeth while working on the award-winning TV series The PJ’s, produced by Eddie Murphy before founding Laika Studios in his native Portland, Oregon. Laika began by producing Coraline directed by stop motion genius Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas). That Golden Globe winning effort was followed by Paranorman and The Boxtrolls (also nominated for a Globe). Kubo and the Two Strings is the latest Laika release and we spoke to Knight about his studio and his inspirations (they include Ray Harryhausen and George Méliès).
