Thanks, man! It makes me happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Wow, I love how you brought up Don Hertzfeldt, since I’m a fan of his work myself. Actually, not that many days ago I was just thinking I should revisit that particular movie after a few years. The same film has made an impact on me as well, since I often find myself reminiscing some of the scenes and dialogue.
So I wouldn’t be that surprised even if there would be some subconscious influences manifesting in my own artistic output.
