The documentary film “Year Zero: Story of a Khmer Rouge Solider” is looking for an Illustrator/Animator to create several scenes within our movie. The overall film is to be about 1 hour in length, and total animation will be roughly 7 minutes of the film. There are about 5 scenes that will need to be animated.

The style might be described as similar to Waltz with Bashir, but darker and more impressionistic. We have an example animation for you to review.

We are non-profit and have a limited budget, but because of this we are also willing to be flexible on time and can add a tax-deductible write off in addition to payment if requested. We look forward to reviewing your work and speaking with you soon.
