  • #f:eeaao #s:film #t:article/essay | To hear Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — the directorial duo known collectively as “Daniels” — tell their origin story, it was something like withering contempt at first sight.
  • #f:eeaao #s:film #t:article/essay | Writing Everything Everywhere All At Once was a foolish prayer to a cold, indifferent universe. It was a dream about reconciling all of the contradictions, making sense of the largest questions, and imbuing meaning onto the dumbest, most profane parts of humanity. We wanted to stretch ourselves in every direction to bridge the generational gap that often crumbles into generational trauma. We scoffed at the false dichotomy of Scorsese Cinephiles vs Marvel Fanboys and instead asked "why not both?" It was an attempt to create the narrative equivalent of the Theory of Everything. A Big Data approach to myth-making. A post-genre deconstruction of traditional narrative. A maximalist's manifesto for surviving in the noise of modern life.
