The exceptionally well crafted and groundbreaking graphic novel by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins, often considered impossible to translate to film, is faithfully adapted in two movies utilizing the unique storytelling qualities of animated filmmaking.

ABOUT BRANDON VIETTI
Brandon Vietti is an American animation producer, director and writer of 2D and CG movies and TV shows ranging broadly in style and tone for kids and adults. He is best known for pushing the boundaries of grounded realism and drama in mature-audience superhero fiction like the movies Watchmen: Chapters I & II (2024), Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) and the series Young Justice (2010-2023).
Born in 1974 in Fresno, California, Brandon took an early interest in drawing. His artistic sensibilities were shaped by the vibrant pop culture of 1980’s music, movies, video games, comic books and animation. But his interests quickly gravitated toward titles favoring realism in world-building stories with grounded characters that counterbalanced against so much of the totally awesome escapist fantasies in 80’s media. While exploring these combined interests in storytelling through writing and drawing in high school, he decided to pursue a career as a comic book artist.
In 1994, upon acceptance to the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in New Jersey, Brandon was awarded the first Marvel Comics full scholarship. This award included a dream-come-true internship working as an editorial revision artist in the legendary Marvel Comics Bullpen in New York City. But DC Comics titles would ultimately become the cornerstone of his career which began in 1997 when he applied for a job, on a whim, at his favorite animation studio, Warner Bros. Animation. He was hired as a storyboard artist and designer for The New Batman Adventures and, through seeing his artwork animated to life, he found his true calling to the ultimate storytelling medium, the perfect fusion of illustration and filmmaking.
Brandon would go on to work in nearly every animation art department at several studios, learning every facet of production, while graduating from storyboard artist to director and eventually to executive producer and writer. With each new project, he continues honing his craft of animation filmmaking with a long-term goal of shattering the common American perception that animation is just for kids. He is always searching for the right story and collaborators to craft entertaining projects of culturally significant, mass-market appeal that demand attention for the unique, high-art qualities of the animation medium.
