nothing, except everything. (2023)

Curiosidades

Nothing, Except Everything is an American coming-of-age short film written and directed by Wesley Wang and produced by Scott Aharoni. It stars David Mazouz as Miles, a high school senior attempting to find order in the uncertainty surrounding graduation, and Lily Chee as Harper. The title is stylized in lowercase.

Production

Wang wrote and directed the film during his final year of high school. He said that he wanted to make a film about young people from the perspective of a young filmmaker. The story was also influenced by the lack of fulfillment he experienced after being admitted to Harvard University, which led him to explore uncertainty, existentialism and how members of Generation Z search for meaning.

Wang contacted approximately 200 prospective producers before partnering with Scott Aharoni. According to Wang, Aharoni subsequently helped recruit Mazouz and Chee. The production involved more than a dozen cast members and a crew of over 30 people.

Stefan Nachmann served as cinematographer, John Rafanelli edited the film and Tim Fain composed its music. Wang described its montage-driven visual approach as an attempt to combine conventional filmmaking with stylistic elements associated with short-form content on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.
