Don Hertzfeld's Everything Will Be OK — 8/10/2007



Don Hertzfeld's (Rejected) new film finally releases on DVD tomorrow. It's called Everything Will Be OK and is apparently the story of a man named Bill, who is slowly going insane. Or as Jim Ridley from The Nashville Scene put it:

"...devastating... stretches the form of the animated short in every direction. A meditation on the preciousness and fragility of health, mental or physical, it sends the soundtrack and visuals plunging into psychotic chaos as its stick-figure hero sinks deeper into undiagnosed despair. It’ll stay with you."
It won the Best Short Film Jury Award at Sundance this year.

I'm a huge huge fan of Rejected and probably quote it weekly, at least, so this is a big treat.

The only bad news is that it is only available directly from the filmmaker. Hey, if it works for David Lynch, why not Don.

I love stories that have the "boring everyday life" & slowly go Insane or have some sort of illness or depression. It's truthful for alot of people on so many levels.

If your as crazy as Patrick Bateman (American Psycho character) then you have just lost it completely. Hertzfeld always does good work so this should be good as well. Sucks that it's only available from his site but I'll buy a copy.

It's my birthday today so why the hell not!

Since I live in a bucket, I'm picking it up. I've ordered from his site before and it is shipped quickly.
