don just wrote in his journal
the new dvds have arrived. they sort of squirt when you squeeze them, like weird little sea creatures
i suppose this was inevitable

:::: The surprise premiere of a curious new five minute cartoon concluded the final three Evening with Don Hertzfeldt tourstops in Ottawa and Montreal.
:::: Production on Chapter 3 of Everything will be OK has begun, now that the 2008-2009 tour has finally come to a close. THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the tour such a smashing success and an amazing series of evenings to remember. Don premiered I am so proud of you in autumn 2008 on a whirlwind tour of 16 cities and carried on in 2009 for a grand total of 33 shows in 22 cities, four countries, about 30 hours of embarrassing onstage interviews, and one new cartoon. Chapter 3 is about two-thirds written and is now underway.
::::: I AM SO PROUD OF YOU IS NOW ON DVD :::::
This limited edition DVD features a 148 page production archive of deleted scenes, notes, sketches, bad ideas, wishful thinking, regrets, and distant memories; an alternate, narration-free version of the film; a curious booklet; and a dozen blurry mysterious photos from the upcoming Chapter 3.

everything will be ok chapter 2

...I am so proud of you has won its 20th and 21st awards, with Best Animated Film at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Best Short Film at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, and Best Film at Curta Cinema, Rio De Janeiro. Other recent honors include a Special Jury Prize for "original form and human warmth" at the "Message to Man" Film Festival in Russia and a Special Jury Prize from the Independent Film Festival of Boston. Earlier this year the film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Florida Film Festival as well as Best Picture and Best Screenplay from the Fargo Film Festival, over a field of live action features and documentaries. Meanwhile,
Everything will be OK has won its 39th award, the Special Jury Prize from Italy's Lucca Animation Festival!
"A stunning gut-punch of a short film... the latest mortality play from Oscar-nominated director Don Hertzfeldt, and it lives up to its pedigree, boldly taking on concepts like family, pain and loss. An intermission might be necessary after this program so audiences can step outside and catch their breath. It’s that effective." - Orlando Weekly
"[Everything will be OK and I am so proud of you] tell the story of Bill, a stick figure everyman who stoically endures the pain, uncertainty, and excruciating beauty of life. Hertzfeldt's work is sometimes elusive in its simplicity, but it can be profound as well; with his humor, darkness, philosophical yearning, and insistence on drawing every line himself, he may be the only legitimate successor to Charles M Schulz. Except for all the money, of course." - J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader
"....a fucking masterpiece. I can't even begin to articulate my thoughts about the
film but it just gave me shivers and I wasn't able to attend the party after
the screening. Just had to be alone. It had this effect on a number of other
people here too.... stunning, beautiful, tragic, absurd work." - Chris Robinson, artistic director Ottawa Animation Festival
