Nexus Studios director on her perspective as a Third Culture Kid , achieving dreams working for Disney and the responsibilities that come with privilege
As a storyteller, Neeraja Raj embraces her status as what she calls a “Third Culture Kid (TCK for short)”. Her upbringing was spread across cultures beginning with her parents’ Indian background. She spent the first part of her formative years in Jakarta, Indonesia and then high school in Dubai, her Bachelors in Ahmedabad, India and recently finished her Masters in the UK. “The ever-shifting backdrop of my youth has opened my mind from a very young age to a multitude of ideas and I believe that helps me with my storytelling, having been exposed to so many different environments and cultures,” she says.

By now, Don Hertzfeldtâs hapless cartoon stick figures are as distinctive a motif as Mark Rothkoâs block panels, e e cummingsâs lower-case poetry or Buster Keatonâs stone face; 25 years into his career, the Austin, Texas-based independent is animationâs laureate of mock-naive existential gallows humour and wonder. If his most plain-drawn student movies â Ah, LâAmour (1995), Genre (1996), Lily and Jim (1997), Billyâs Balloon (1998), mostly available on Hertzfeldtâs YouTube channel â led on the slapstick cruelty their maker could inflict on their twig figures, Hertzfeldt delighting in the power of his creative hand, his maturing works have opened up vistas of pathos and puzzlement around those long-suffering ciphers, at the same time as he embedded them in richer worlds of analogue animation technique.

On the first day of summer camp, Oscar already wants to leave. In his own words, the 11-year-old elephant feels “kinda nervous when there’s a lot of things happening at the same time.” There is a lot to adjust to once his parents drop off Oscar and his best friend, Hedgehog (who is, unsurprisingly, a hedgehog), at the campground.
Oscar was excited about the many “organized activities” promised to him in the camp’s pamphlet; he expected to spend the summer adventuring in nature, canoeing, or making crafts with his best friend. But that’s not the full picture the camp counselors turn out to be witches, magic apparently is real, and Oscar’s summer is about to look much more otherworldly than what he originally planned for.
