Hayao Miyazaki held a press conference this last week and Twitch has the transcript up on their site.

This is a rare opportunity to read about a master of film and storytelling.

I read the piece and felt very fortunate to get an insight of Miyazaki’s point of view, humility and love for his work.

If you are not familiar with the great master of drawn animation, then ever so much more you should read this post at Twitch.
