Rejected creator Don Hertzfeldt's animated short Everything Will Be OK is a masterpiece that's cleverly disguised itself as pure silliness. Both the writing and animation look to be overly simple and childish but turn on your brain and it's complex, thought provoking and disturbingly observant.
This, being the first part of a trilogy, follows a lonely, stumbling social outcast named Bill who is dissolving into a terrifying mental illness. Flavored with sprinkles of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Gary Larson, Everything is beautifully shot and composited in a 35mm without the aid of computers which breathes that much more life into it.
5 "How's up?"'s out of 5
The short is only available through Hertzfeldt's own Bitterfilms website.
