This film, his longest at 22 minutes, is a continuation of the troubles faced by the main character, Billy. Loaded with heavy themes, including death, madness and illness, but animated with stick figures, the film has the twisted humor fans expect.
Influenced by Monty Python and Stanley Kubrick among others, Hertzfeldt has been described as disturbing, brilliant, absurd, deep and hilarious all in the same breath.
Hertzfeldt says it was while he was studying film at the University of California, Santa Barbara, that he became an animator. ''I could afford it ... the shooting ratio was much cheaper than live action , just one roll of film and a 16 mm camera.''
Hertzfeldt works solo -- writing, animating, producing, filming and directing. And in an age of fast-paced technological innovation, he continues to create his movies completely by hand, drawing every frame -- no computers are involved.
Hertzfeldt's skill lies in how he handles the audience and the plot by not forcing emotions. ''I don't like movies that pound away at every emotion and treat the audience like fools. I think their imaginations are way more powerful than anything I could put up there.''
Hertzfeldt says he gets satisfaction in seeing people react to his films and making their own personal connections.
Going on the road and talking to audience members, he says, is an eye-opening experience.
''You hear things about the film that maybe you never thought of yourself.''
Hertzfeldt is a dynamic character with about 10 different ideas running around in his head at the same time.
Right now he's working on the third chapter of ''Everything Will Be OK,'' as well as a graphic novel and a television project.
His production company, Bitter Films, has released a compilation of his short films from 1995-2005.
Of the popularity of his work, Hertzfeldt says, ''Nobody is more surprised than I am.''

Additional overflow seating will be available throughout the Newseum. The program is scheduled to be covered live by NASA-TV and will be streamed on nasa.gov.
The Newseum recently opened 'Out of This World: 50 Years of NASA,' a photographic exhibit of 16 oversized images reflecting NASA's manned and unmanned exploration of the universe. The images span nearly the complete history of NASA, from the introduction of the men of the Mercury mission in 1961 to the present.
As with war, politics and sports, space exploration is a recurring theme throughout the Newseum. In the Internet, TV and Radio Gallery (sponsored by Bloomberg), visitors can see a training model of an RCA TV camera used on the moon during the Apollo missions. Interactive touch-screens in the gallery feature video clips from TV news coverage of space milestones, including the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957; early Mercury spaceflights by Alan Shepard and John Glenn; the launch of Telstar, the world's first telecommunications satellite; the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar landing; and the Challenger space shuttle tragedy in January 1986. The space race also figures prominently in a 22-minute Newseum original documentary in the gallery, 'Rise of TV News: 1947-1970.'
In the News History Gallery (sponsored by News Corporation), visitors can see original newspaper front-page coverage of the space race, including many of the events featured in the Internet, TV and Radio Gallery as well as the historic flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space (as reported in a Moscow newspaper); the Apollo 1 tragedy during which three astronauts lost their lives; the Apollo 13 drama; and America's first woman in space, shuttle astronaut Sally Ride.
Later this month, the Newseum will premiere 'NASA 50th Anniversary,' an eight-minute original Newseum documentary created for the museum's unique Big Screen Theater (sponsored by Robert H
