Joseph Bertrand

Joseph Bertrand is a Guatemalan-born animator and filmmaker based in Toronto, whose work merges experimental storytelling with animation. A graduate of Sheridan College’s Animation program, he gained early recognition with The Curious Case of Aunt Binks and Francotirador, the latter winning Best Animated Short at the Ícaro Festival. His films have screened internationally, and his industry credits include Space Jam 2: A New Legacy (Warner Bros.), Final Space (Netflix), and Dino Ranch (Disney). With his latest work, Nool, premiering at TIFF Bell Lightbox, Bertrand continues to push the boundaries between animation and live-action filmmaking.
