Bernardo Britto was born in Rio de Janeiro and graduated from NYU. He co-directed the feature film Nothing Yet and received the NBR Animation Grant in 2011. He was selected as a 2012 Marcie Bloom fellow. In 2013 his animated short The Places Where We Lived premiered at SXSW and went on to win the Grand Jury Prize for Animation at AFI Fest.
His short film Yearbook (Festival Award Winner, Narrative Short) is about a man who is hired to compile the definitive history of human existence before the planet blows up. He spends the remaining 17 years sitting in front of a computer at work, staring at his wife’s nasty catfish dinners at home, and deciding how to condense all of recorded civilization with a severe space restriction.
