Exploring the McLaren’s Workshop app with David OReilly & Patrick Doyon
It’s not often we’ll dedicate a whole post on DN to a new piece of technology – but then again it’s not often its promotional campaign will feature commissioned work from the likes of Don Hertzfeldt, David OReilly and Patrick Doyon.
Answer a Few Questions & Help Make DN Great!
We know that some of you have been with us since our earliest days, for which we’re eternally grateful, but over the past 7 years you’ve all remained a deliciously elusive mystery to us at DN Towers.

Short Film ‘Between Beasts’ Actually a Case Study on Internet Bullying
When I featured Jesper Eriksson’s dark short Between Beasts on the site last week, I thought the film might amass a fair bit of interest surrounding its strong visuals and haunting, captivating plot, along with its reminiscent tones to popular video game Limbo.

We, as I’m sure a lot of you guys do, spend a massive chunk of our online time on the mighty Vimeo hunting for the films that are DN’s bread and butter. Luckily for us, those dilligent Vimeons have been hard at work finding ways to make the hours we spend over there even more [...]
WeAreDN Vimeo Channel
Yes the title says it all, DN now has its own bonafide channel on the glorious home of filmmaking that is Vimeo (and as you can see we’re in mighty fine company). I suspect this news may well be met with cries of “About bloody time!” and “What do you mean you didn’t have one?”, [...]
