WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT EVERYTHING TURNS

"Hand-drawn animation circling around time and degeneration." Emergeandsee

"Taking us through the revolving wheel of life."
BBC Film Network

"unrelenting bleakness
"
Dazed and Confused


"Imagine living a life litter-ally filled with sludge and junk. As the world turns, so do our lives. Time will continue forever, will your message? In this short film Max Hattler makes simply complex images a reality; our reality. Dream on Mr. Hattler!" LOUDreams

"rather stylish"
Ian Lumsden, The Animation Blog

"sound is completely integral"
dShed Electric Cinema


"Everything Turns morphs life, death, the universe and all that in one minute flat, demonstrating the potential rather than the limitations of the one-minute format. Its clean and elegant animation is totally engaging."
Dr. Chris Berry, Professor of Film and Television Studies, Goldsmiths College. One Minute Award Jury, Filming East Festival, 2007

Everything Turns
Life makes your head spin, and before you know it,
it’s over. A very short film about time, life and death.
