Don Hertzfeldt, Rejected, and more
Monday, July 7th, 2008Rejected is a student film from UC Santa Barbara from 1999. You should watch it. That’s why i’ve embedded the YouTube spot below. Yes, I’m trying to make things easier for everyone. The film is by Don Hertzfeldt. He has a rather postmodern (i hate the word) website at www.bitterfilms.com where he talks about his upcoming film I Am So Proud of You. The website also is the only place where you can buy merchandise from his sundry films. So if you want a shirt with a picture of “My spoon’s too big” on it, then you are in luck! Don has made numerous films over the last 9+ yrs and has won innumerable awards at film festivals around the globe. I envy him in a way because he proves that you don’t have to be a talented artist to make great animation. You just have to be clever and tell a story. The medium is the message, after all. Wait, that doesn’t seem to make sense here. Nevertheless, enjoy!!!…
