Works


Ziolkowski is best known for his screenplay of the internationally acclaimed feature animation film The Secret of Kells. The Hollywood Reporter described it as a "stirring tale" of "universal themes of the transcendent power of imagination and following one's dreams" in an "Irish-legend-and-lore-laced script "[5] The New York Times noted that "A gentle spirit of syncretism suffuses The Secret of Kells."[6] Variety called it a "Gorgeous hand-drawn 2D animation, which is so retro that it looks like a direct descendent of the medieval illuminated manuscript tradition, perfectly complements its tale... A tour-de-force."[7]

His documentary L.A.X. continues to receive notice: film scholar David James has called it "a disabused, skeptical rendering of the city’s grittier underside" which reveals "the noir realities behind the sunshine."[2] It has been described as "an essay" on Los Angeles, an "experimental documentary, and "a fictional structure... a journey through the city."[8]
