The Best Short Film of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival packs more
originality and voice into its 17 minutes than a lot of feature-length
films. It blends Hertzfeldt’s signature bare-bones imagery
with a fantasy-tinged bleakness to stunning effect. As a result,
Hertzfeldt pushes the art form and its audience into some unexpectedly
serious places.
Festivals: Sundance Film Festival (Best
Short Film); Seattle Intl Film Festival (Best Animated Film); Portland
Intl Film Festival (Audience Award); Rhode Island Intl Film Festival
(First Place, Animation); Santa Barbara Intl Film Festival (Best
Animation); Florida Film Fest (Best Animated Film); and 50 more.
