One of the main things that attracted Kurt Albrecht to be a producer on “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” when Mike Rianda brought it to Sony in 2015 was the fact that it was so filmmaker driven. “We were coming up with ideas and he was on a road trip and he came up with, ‘One of the things I love is my crazy family and I love killer robots,’” Albrecht tells Gold Derby in our Meet the Experts: Film Animation panel (watch the exclusive video interview above). That crazy idea led to his pitch and then developing the story with co-writer and co-director Jeff Rowe. “There’s been many versions of it but what you saw was really Mike just choosing things he loved and working with those ideas.”
