During the conversation, Natalia discussed how her father’s 2018 Oscar win for Best Animated Short Film for Dear Basketball motivated her to go for the same honor.

With a mischievous grin, Natalia recalled how she and her dad used to “go on movie marathons” and watch an endless supply of films. “Then we’d spend months discussing and analyzing every single film.”As Natalia and Kobe traveled the world, they frequently made connections between real-life events and movie plot points. It’s simply instances like those… I felt a profound sense of inspiration and thought, “I want to do this forever.”

With a nod to Kobe’s famous jersey number, Vanessa paid tribute to her late husband last month with a touching Instagram snapshot of the two of them from twenty-four years ago.She holds herself against Kobe’s chest as he poses with one arm around her waist in the photo. In the photo, Kobe and Vanessa are both grinning widely.

She added, “24 years ago… Day 1. #1999 ️ 11/27/99” in the caption.
