Two-time Academy Award nominee Don Hertzfeldt (1976) is known for animated films such as It’s Such a Beautiful Day (2012), the World of Tomorrow series, and Rejected (2000). His work received hundreds of awards worldwide. At the Sundance Film Festival, he is the only filmmaker to have won the Grand Jury Prize for Short Film twice. After animating for over twenty years using traditional tools (pencil, paper, and 35mm cameras), World of Tomorrow was Hertzfeldt’s first digital production.
