Herman Brown is Feeling Down

Everything was just fine until suddenly, out of nowhere, Herman's world is filled with stress that just won't leave him alone. 

Combining digital techniques with painting directly onto 35mm film, Herman Brown is a film about stress, anxiety, and learning to play the tuba.
