Two co-dependent friends live in a fantasy world all their own in this fun short written and directed by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Waley Wang. Shot on super 16mm and 8mm film by cinematographer-producer Andrea Gavazzi (previously featured here), “Julie & I” is described as an anti-fashion film inspired by French New Wave:
“We intentionally borrowed a lot of imagery from videos and fashion films that we loved, to create a visual post-modern landscape crafted from contemporary video tastes. The goal was to also comment on some of today’s over-emphasis on aesthetic also going a little too far for the same reasons that make them so beautiful.”
