    :: current events :: updated october 5 2008
    Unofficially the first review of I am so proud of you
    "....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 International Animation Festival
    LATEST TOUR 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 8 update: Please note the DATE CHANGES for AUSTIN and CALGARY, as well as the new theater announcement for ATLANTA!
    We've also just set up a TOUR BULLETIN BOARD to help answer any questions about tickets, venue info, showtimes, politics, moonbeams, etc. Each city will be updated as soon as any new info comes in.

    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.

    ::::: EVERYTHING WILL BE OK NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD :::::
    this limited edition DVD "single" features a restored and remastered high definition film transfer, with a brand new 100+ page archival area of deleted scenes, sketches, production notes, alternate takes, abandoned ideas, embarrassing asides, a strange booklet, an interesting hidden thing, and all the usual nonsense.....
