June Spotlight
Pete
Directed by Bret Parker | 7 min
In honor of Pride month, we're excited to spotlight the short film Pete—a true story about gender identity, Little League Baseball, people who inspire change by being themselves, and the unexpected heroes who accept them.
Set in the seventies, this heartfelt animated film was directed by Pixar veteran Bret Parker, who worked on iconic films such as Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and Inside Out. Pete screened at Pittsburgh Shorts in 2023 and made the Oscar shortlist for Best Animated Short Film in 2024.
