for everyone

This is a simple, poignant short film, shot on a budget of $150: a man with a survey stops passersby and asks them, "Are you anybody's favorite person?" What a heartbreaking question, for somebody who DOESN'T come first in somebody else's heart! Miranda July, who wrote the short story this is based on, had just finished shooting ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW and made this film in the week between shooting and editing the first rough assembly. Miguel Arteta, who directed, was still in love with her at the time, and in an interview with WHOLPHIN said, "The shoot was painless but sure enough, by the time I started editing, we were broken up. This little short is like a rear-view mirror that survived a fabulous, painful crash.

I agree with one of the comments to this video though: I see no point in shooting the film in black and white.

It is. You should see Miranda July's Me and You and Everyone We Know. Here's an excerpt, and here's the trailer.

simple but makes you think. about the b/w...hmmm...probablyy to make viewer be aware of his own emotions?

Miranda July, the first respondent on the video, is known to be very color-oriented in her work. Yung tipong nagpopop-up talaga. Adding color to the film would add meat, tsaka contrast to the theme.

Tsaka, black and white's work if your photography is done well; it's so so dito e.
