Don Hertzfeldt films

Don Hertzfeldt is an American screenwriter and filmmaker born in 1976, known for animated films such as World of Tomorrow, Rejected or It’s Such a Beautiful Day.

As an introduction to Don Hertzfeldt filmography, I can say that, within his mind lies something that many filmmakers possess, but not at a level, in my opinion, of this caliber: a vast personal universe and hands with the incredible capacity to develop it with minimal limitations. It’s been 20 years since Hertzfeldt made his first short film (Ah, L’Amour), and since then, there have been several who have been drawn to and captivated by Don Hertzfeldt’s imaginative, delirious, and dark universe. Over the years, beneath his seemingly simple animation, he has revealed a unique perspective and sense of humor. His work consistently increases in quality, becoming more enriched and featuring situations whose reflections strangely penetrate our minds, capturing our attention with their format and essence.

In 2012, under the title It’s Such a Beautiful Day, Hertzfeldt would create his first feature film, actually a compil‎ation of the shorts Everything Will Be Ok (2006), I Am So Proud of You (2008), and It’s Such a Beautiful Day (2011). A wonderful narrative and the definitive confirmation of his talent. If Bill—the protagonist of the three shorts—already made us feel we were dealing with a multi-dimensional person rich in nuances, contrary to his appearance, and the short films titled World of Tomorrow.
