:::: Wisdom Teeth is an unnecessary brand new five minute cartoon that Don drew last year in between more important things. It first shamelessly dribbled onto the screen as a surprise
conclusion to the final three Evening with Don Hertzfeldt tourstops in Ottawa + Montreal last October. In January it drunkenly revealed itself at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, punched a woman in the mouth, and ran off into the snow without pants. It is rumored to next appear at this weekend's Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where it will stumble into the room cursing God with vodka on its breath while making creatively lewd gestures.
STRANGE REACTIONS at Sundance from around the web:
"A hilarious animated German short..."
"...brilliant... funnier than hell."
"Haven’t laughed that hard in awhile."
"...something that can only happen in animation."
"This was just awful."
:::: 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 being animated - with a bit of luck, it should be released in 2011.
::::: 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:
