BILL KINDER, Director & Producer

As Pixar's Director of Editorial & Post Production for seventeen years, Bill Kinder knows plenty about digital cinema. He combines that high tech production savvy with the maverick spirit of independent filmmaking he learned from Francis Coppola during his stint at American Zoetrope to create WHITE RABBIT. His vision for the film is a post-Iraq War noir thriller with a strong, topical undercurrent of social commentary about the effect of war on the home front. Prior to his work in feature films, Mr. Kinder directed an Emmy-nominated documentary, produced television news and other non-fiction specials, and edited commercials.
