   Watch World of Tomorrow Online | Vimeo On Demand2016 Academy Award Nominee: Best Animated Short Film World of Tomorrow Episode Two: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/worldoftomorrow2 World of Tomorrow Episode Three: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/worldoftomorrow3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in early 2014 i began work on a secret project called "world of tomorrow". it was originally just an exercise to teach myself the basics of digital animation. after nearly 20 years of working with paper, pencils, 35mm film, rocks, and fire, i'd never actually drawn anything on a tablet before. animating this way at first seemed a bit like trying to read a children's book in a foreign language: it all seemed vaguely familiar somehow, but was sort of weirdly scrambled. i'm also pretty sure i bent the software to do things it was in no way designed for. but the writing and visuals soon began to grow, as they always do, and i made two new rules for myself: get through the shots as fast as you can, and do everything differently. carrying on in this spirit, for the first time i'm releasing a new movie online: "world of tomorrow" will continue to play theaters everywhere like the 35mm films did, but moving to digital now means we can bring it to everybody else as soon as possible. as an independent, those theatrical tours and dvd sales directly funded the next films. and the prevailing gloomy attitude towards selling shorts online seems to be 1) huh? but there's no market for shorts online and 2) people will steal it anyway. but if we continue to believe there's no market for shorts without ever trying to do anything to challenge it, nothing will change. and i still believe that people simply want to support the things they'd like to see more of. because hey, without all of you over the years, i surely would've had to give up and gotten a real job back in the 90s ❤ finally, i'd like to introduce my two amazing leading ladies. the wonderful julia pott (animator & illustrator herself), appears in her first acting role and proves that there is a viable side career for her should she ever tire of endlessly drawing little animals wearing scarves (just kidding julia you know i love ya). julia performs opposite my niece, winona, who was four years old when i recorded her. i learned very quickly that you cannot direct a four year old. you cannot even expect a four year old to recite lines back at you. you just sort of have to let the four year old happen. so i recorded her as we drew pictures and talked about the world. we live very far apart, i only see her about once a year, so we only had time for a few sessions. and with these recordings - her candid thoughts, reactions, and questions - i was able to create the character that you are about to meet. - don ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "One of 2015's best films... exceedingly brilliant... Bursting with creativity and hilarity... a profoundly affecting piece of work that demands to be seen." - Jordan Raup, The Film Stage "Might be one of the most satisfying short films since Chris Marker’s 1962 landmark, La Jetée... almost certain to be the highlight of this year’s Sundance, full stop... Wise, hilarious, and formally daring..." - David Ehrlich, Time Out New York "A masterpiece... one of the best sci-fi movies in years." - Chris Plante, The Verge "Astonishing... Utterly fantastic..." - Noel Murray, The Dissolve "Dazzling... spectacular... a marvel... a must-watch... [Hertzfeldt is] one of the most exciting voices in film." - Michael Cusumano, The Film Experience "Delightful... There are more big ideas packed into this 16 minute film than most major studios’ entire catalog of science fiction." - Dan Schindel, Movie Mezzanine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don Hertzfeldt is a two-time Academy Award nominee whose animated films include "It's Such a Beautiful Day", the "World of Tomorrow" series, "Paper Trail", and "Rejected". His work has played around the world, receiving over 250 awards, and made a special guest appearance on "The Simpsons" in 2014. Nine of his films have screened in competition at the Sundance Film Festival, where he is the only filmmaker to have won the overall Grand Jury Prize for Short Film twice.Vimeo (opens in a new tab)
