2016 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE: BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM
World of Tomorrow is a 2015 American animated science fiction short film written, directed, produced, animated, and edited by Don Hertzfeldt. It features the voice of Julia Pott, opposite Hertzfeldt’s then-four-year-old niece Winona Mae, who was recorded while drawing and playing. Her spontaneous, natural vocal reactions and questions were then edited into the story to create her character. Hertzfeldt is also credited as cinematographer, production designer, sound editor, sound mixer, and digital effects supervisor.
