Darren Alff

About two years ago I walked into the local video rental store and picked up a film titled, “Me And You And Everyone We Know.” I had never heard of it and was unaware of any of the actors in the film, but I decided to check it out anyway.

That night, before I went to sleep, I popped in the DVD and began to watch.

Before I knew it, the film was over and I couldn’t believe what had just happened. This film, of which I knew nothing about, was one of the greatest films I had ever seen!

It was about 3 AM by the time I finished the movie and I wanted to find the nearest person and tell them all about this film, but everyone was asleep. That night as I lay in bed, all I could think about was the genius behind this film. And over the next coupe weeks I began to do some research on the writer, director, and main actor in the film – a woman by the name of Miranda July.

It is difficult to put Miranda in any sort of category because she does so many things. In short, she is an artist – and an exceptional one at that. She does everything from make films, perform, write, and more! She is incredibly multi-talented… and I like people who can do all sorts of different things.

I’ll discuss Miranda July in more detail in future posts, but for now, go out and get yourself a copy of “Me And You And Everyone We Know.” You’ll either be totally blown away or left wondering to yourself, “What the hell was Darren talking about?”

Either way, I can promise you this: You’ve never seen another film quite like it!
