MUST END Thursday, November 22nd!
Digital presentation - Cult animator and Academy Award nominee filmmaker Don Hertzfeldt has combined his recent "Bill" trilogy of short films into one seamless, beautiful, darkly comedic feature, blending traditional animation, experimental optical effects, trick photography, and new digital hybrids printed out one frame at a time. In the full feature, a series of dark and troubling events force Bill to reckon with the meaning of his life - or lack thereof. For theaters, the feature will also include a few new surprises.

Note: Don is not able to attend shows, he is working on a new feature.
Don Hertzfeldt’s ani­mated films have been fea­tured in over a thou­sand film fes­ti­vals and venues around the world and have col­lec­tively received over 150 inter­na­tional awards. Some notable hon­ors include a Short Film Palm D’or nom­i­na­tion at the 1999 Cannes Film Fes­ti­val (Billy’s Bal­loon), a 2001 Oscar nom­i­na­tion for Best Ani­mated Short (Rejected), the Sun­dance Film Festival’s Jury Award in Short Film­mak­ing (Every­thing Will Be OK), and Best Pic­ture and Best Screen­play from the Fargo Film Fes­ti­val (I Am So Proud of You). In 2010, Don received the San Fran­cisco Interna­tional Film Festival’s “Per­sis­tence of Vision” Life­time Achieve­ment Award at the age of 33.
