Academy Award nominated cult animator Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected, Everything will be ok, Billy’s Balloon) is hitting the road with a series of one-night-only events featuring some of his classic animated shorts and regional premieres of his latest work, I am so proud of you. See the poster below or go to www.bitterfilms.com for tour dates.
Hertzfeldt’s longest piece to date at 22 minutes, I am so proud of you is the eagerly anticipated second chapter to Everything will be ok, which won the Grand Jury Award in the short film category at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The screening will be immediately followed by a live on-stage interview and audience Q&A with Hertzfeldt.
Nearly two years in the making, I am so proud of you was single-handedly animated and photographed on an antique 35mm camera. The film’s special effects were meticulously created directly on film using traditional double exposures, in-camera mattes and innovative experimental techniques.
Hertzfeldt has some experience traveling the country with cartoons. He co-created The Animation Show, a touring theatrical program of international animation, which he programmed with fellow animator Mike Judge for its first three seasons. A retrospective anthology of Hertzfeldt’s own work, Bitter Films: Volume One, was released on DVD in 2006 and can be found at www.bitterfilms.com.
