Story Studio was founded in 2014 by Pixar veterans Saschka Unseld and Max Planck, as well as producer Edward Saatchi.[1] The studio was publicly announced and premiered its first film, Lost, at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.[3] In 2016 the studio's second film, Henry, won the Emmy for Outstanding Original Interactive Program.[4]
