Rejected
Directed by Don Hertzfeldt
Produced by Bitter Films
A frenetic, deliberately unhinged collection of surreal animated vignettes that uses absurdist humor and visual chaos to satirize commercialism and sanity itself.
A hilarious collection of animated television commercials that were rejected because of their creator's failing grip on sanity.
