Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival 2009

Dark family secrets cast a shadow over Bill's recovery, in this second chapter to Don Hertzfeldt's 'Everything will be OK'. Like all of Don Hertzfeldt's films, 'I am so proud of you' was single-handedly animated and photographed by hand without the use of computers. It was shot entirely on an antique 35mm animation stand, one of the last remaining cameras of its kind left in America. All of the special effects were meticulously created directly on film, using traditional double exposures, in-camera mattes, and innovative experimental techniques. The 22 minute short took close to two years to complete. Chapter one, 'Everything will be OK', received the Sundance Film Festival's 2007 Jury Award for Best Short Film and was named by many critics as one of the 'best films of 2007'. A third and final chapter in this series is planned.
