is a writer, director,
producer, animator,
editor, and author.
Best known
for a series
of short films
and the wildest
he has also released
a (now out of print)
book called
The End of the World.

I watched his short
on Netflix
last month
and it left
my jaw on the floor.
A unique crafted,
experimental
and philosophical
piece, I had to rewind
the seventeen minutes
and watch a second time.
Following that short
(I know, I have a handful
of others to watch),
I requested his book
at the library.
While the book
is currently out of print,
the “graphic novel”
is worth seeking out.
Featuring storyboard
ideas and scraps
of post-apocalyptic content,
the book flies through
Hertzfeldt's imaginative
stream of consciousness.

Some pages are one-off
visions while others connect
for a handful of panels.
Including pieces
from World of Tomorrow
as well as plenty
that was new to me.
The 216 page book
is a breeze to fly through,
and something that will open
your eyes a little bit more
than whatever it is
you were previously
reading or watching.
