Famous independent animator Don Hertzfeldt (It is such a beautiful day, Rejected) has unveiled a trailer for a third installment of his series of metaphysical and futuristic short films World of tomorrow, on Twitter, "It's almost time." The clip shows us a figure whizzing through an alien landscape, surrounded by still and blurry clones. Eventually he stumbles, Emily's (Julia Pott) distorted voice crosses a black screen to say, "I've searched time for you."

The teaser also reveals the subtitle: World of Tomorrow Episode 3: The Absent Destination of David Prime.
