There There (2022)

Curiosità

There There is a 2022 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Andrew Bujalski and starring Jason Schwartzman, Lili Taylor, Lennie James, Molly Gordon, Annie La Ganga and Avi Nash.

Production

The film was shot remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic using iPhone 12 Pro Max smartphones, with director Andrew Bujalski and cinematographer Matthias Grunsky never physically present on set. Each scene was filmed with actors in separate locations, often thousands of miles apart and weeks or months apart in time, with the two performers never meeting in person.

The production method reflected the film's thematic concerns with isolation and mediated communication. Grunsky embraced the iPhone's technical characteristics—including its deep depth of field, compression artifacts, and noise in low light—as part of the film's aesthetic language rather than attempting to hide the limitations of smartphone cinematography.

This marked the seventh collaboration between Bujalski and Grunsky, continuing their pattern of experimental approaches to camera technology following Computer Chess (2013), which was shot on 1970s video tube cameras.
