For the past two weeks or so, the entirety of Don Hertzfeldt’s film Everything Will Be OK has been up on his site and on youtube.

If you’ve never seen it, or all that you know of his work is Rejected, then you really should take a look.  Don’t let the simplicity of his characters distract you from the complexity of his films (even some of the shorts that can easily be written off as “weird internet videos”).  He shoots everything on a flatbed 35mm camera and I went to see a projection of this film a few years ago, where I was totally blown away.

I’m doing some animation research for a project and this is totally my jam right now.
