‘Everything Will Be OK’ – the first chapter of ‘It’s Such A Beautiful Day’ by independent animator Don Hertzfeldt, whose films have been described as ‘Looney Tunes directed by Franz Kafka’.

Created in three parts over five years, the film stars a stick figure called Bill who, despite the childlike simplicity of his rendering, you’ll find you care about.

All three parts are available on DVD from Hertzfeldt’s website.
