hey, look:
UPDATES BELOW...
............"Cult animator and Academy Award nominee Don Hertzfeldt (the Meaning of Life, Rejected, Billy's Balloon) hits the road this fall for a rare series of one-night-only events: A selection of Don's classic animated shorts return to the big screen, culminating in the exclusive regional premiere of his newest film, I am so proud of you. His longest piece to date, I am so proud of you is the eagerly anticipated second chapter to Everything will be OK, winner of the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Award in Short Filmmaking and named by many critics as one of the "best films of 2007". The screening will be immediately followed by a live on-stage interview and audience chat with Don Hertzfeldt. We can't stress this enough: One night only!"..........

September 4 update: Hello, we've received a large number of screening requests and while it won't be possible to be everywhere at once, there are still a couple of last minute venues we're considering for the schedule... please stay tuned. Thanks for all the messages so far and especially to those of you already planning to travel a distance to come say hello. Yes, there is a chance we might be able to add a second leg of the tour in early 09 and visit some additional areas, however it is nothing to bet on yet as Don does not like leaving the house very much.

Genre,
Lily and Jim,
Billy's Balloon,
Rejected, the Meaning of Life, and Everything will be OK in their climate controlled film vaults. The movies will retire there in comfort alongside Martin Scorsese's 35mm collection.
