Waititi, an Oscar nominee for Live Action Short Film for Two Cars, One Night (2004), commented, “Short films occupy a singular space in the global filmmaking community, inviting artists to experiment, challenge conventions, and tell stories with unparalleled creative freedom.”

The 98th Oscar® Nominated Shorts is presented by Roadside Attractions and is not a release presented by, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
