It’s not often that an animated short captures the easily distracted attentions of the film world, but then again, there aren’t many animators like Don Hertzfeldt. At only 33 years old, he received the San Francisco International Film Festival‘s Lifetime Achievement Award for his groundbreaking, unique work. That’s not to mention he’s been nominated for two Oscars, most recently for “World Of Tomorrow,” his visually stunning, funny, melancholy animated short. It’s already become a cult favorite and fans are in for a second helping.
The director has announced on Twitter that a followup is on the way with “World Of Tomorrow: The Burden Of Other People’s Thoughts.” That’s quite the subtitle, but also strangely appropriate for this current time we’re living through.
As for actual details on release dates or anything like that, there’s nothing just yet, but at the end of a pretty hard week, this is some great news.
