That's because the Oscar-nominated creator of such works as It's Such a Beautiful Day and the World of Tomorrow series will be sneaking new short film "Me" at a just-announced March 7 event. The Austin Film Society's "An Evening With Don Hertzfeldt" will not only include a presentation of the film but also a lengthy in-person conversation between Hertzfeldt and Mike Judge, who's contributed a thing or to the annals of American animation, too. (See: Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill.)
