March's special screening of An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt and the Michigan premiere of I am so proud of you nearly drew the largest crowds in the Ann Arbor Film Festival's 47 year history! Don's already back at the drawing board working on a secret new thing but will get out the door for just a few more special screenings this year.
Everything will be OK has won its 39th award, the Special Jury Prize from Italy's Lucca Animation Festival!
THE FALL 2008 TOUR HAS COME TO A CLOSE with a
whirlwind 25 packed screenings in 16 cities. THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the opening roll-out
of So Proud such an amazing series of evenings. A few more special events remain for 2009:

"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
