Daniels on Creating the World of Everything Everywhere All at Once

[@jeff__w]

18:38 Daniel Scheinert: “I feel like part of my job was reminding people, like, ‘We’re not making an Oscar movie here.’”

[@androidandroid2966]

“We are not making an Oscar movie here.” Hahaha

[@BROJANGSTER]

finally, the oscars are adapting, and not the other way around

[@BROJANGSTER]

…hopefully

[@juhgata1000]

I could listen to Daniel Kwan talk all day. So articulate and emotionally intelligent 🥰

[@GeneH339]

(12:14) The building they mainly shot at was a Countrywide Home Loans facility in Simi Valley. I worked there for a couple years. Shout out to the Remittance Processing department.

A year ago I went to see EEAAO in the cinema. I had seen a bit of the trailer and figured it'd be a bit of silly fun, I was not expecting the film to absolutely floor me. I was fresh out of college and had dived headfirst into a marketing job that made me feel completely miserable. I was repressing my creative impulses, thinking that going into a salaried 9-5 job I was somehow being "responsible". I instantly felt a connection with the Daniels' exploration of life purpose and all the lives we could be living, cried about 5 times, and thought to myself "This is why I wanna make films!". I'm not quite there yet, but I've started pointing my career in the direction of becoming a filmmaker. I hope I get to thank these lovely men in person some day.

[@jennifergsamuels2943]

I’ve seen EEAO 3 times now. It feels like my life. Yes , I’m a woman , I’m an immigrant and my personality is very much like Wayman on the outside but Evelyn on the inside. In my life I’m still waiting on my creative chance just like Short Round.

[@sailingsam3815]

Daniels are such creative and intelligent film makers....

[@hamitokia]

The movie is great. But the behind the scenes, the making of the movie, the culmination of all the circumstances and events that created this movie is even more amazing!!!

[@ppjctotoro]

I'm really impressed by the questions this interviewer put forward, very interesting!

[@daystoppol1592]

Love them more each interview i see.

[@NickNightingale-wc7oz]

Some of the best creative advice I’ve ever received ; much thanks

[@januarykristibrionesmigalb5896]

love love love these guys 😍 so intelligent but very grounded. they make esoteric and philosophical subjects very relatable. and that's why a lot people are moved by the movie because that collective everything-bagel inside of us have been gnawing at our subconscious - this movie brought light to it, and to finding meaning in connection and our common humanity. it would be amazing if they get the Oscar's, but even if they didnt, this movie has already reached the "pantheon" status of cinema. thank you for the gift of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 🧡

[@littlsuprstr]

so that's how they did it, they're geniuses.

[@fireworksfordinner]

That out of character "little shimmy" is my favorite moment in the whole movie

[@kwokyingcheng699]

Noticed at 2:12 that Uma Thurman was given the "THANKS!", wonder what her involvement was.

[@bobbybubby7977]

It might just be for inspiration. The Daniels have said that Kill Bill was influential.

[@8BitBrody]

I like that the section around the 30 minute mark is called “Stanley Cooper quote” instead of Stanley Kubrick.

[@Godblesstaiwan2025]

It's how amazing the talented film makers are determined to serve a story of love 💕 I am Daniel's super fan now.🎬🎬 Yeah another Oscar ! I believe in you 🥰🥰🥰🏆🏆

[@corinneyoung8166]

Love, bless, congrats, props, respect - DUDEs !!!!!!

[@hatelovebowel4571]

[@danielmarcusfilms]

Thank you for posting this!

[@KitchenKnife0]

Great interview! Random off topic... Jonathan Wang's voice sounds A LOT like Matt Damon's

[@DarienChen]

Thank you guys all！！:)

[@freshPrincess626]

Love the “Monsters Inc” shoutout 😄

[@BboyNatertot]

Will the Q&A from Swiss Army Man be posted?

[@STE7ENFOSTER]

Oh my gosh. I don't mean to make this all about me because that's exactly the OPPOSITE of the point. But when I did a little cult hit that became a monster smash anime dub, Ghost Stories, I felt the same way. When millions of people discovered it, it wasn't mine anymore. So much so that it was almost like I'd never even done it. And I think that's one of the beautiful things about art--in any medium. You make it, it's tortuous, it's arduous, it's soul-stirring, it's fulfilling, etc, but after that, it doesn't belong to you anymore. It's a gift, whether you admit it or not, but what you create is beyond you. That's the God blessed part of it. It transcends you and it becomes something wonderful for someone else. Just my 2cents.

[@bn3121]

Super interesting to hear your take on the vid. I don't even watch anime but I've come across the famous Ghost Stories dub. You're a legend!

[@Timyeahhh]

inspirational

[@petercarlson5261]

The chapters say "Stanley Cooper quote" lmao

[@kitkat3548]

They did.

[@MarcelaBellyDance]

The Daniels are such a nice, caring, deep, conscious human beings that I’m so happy with all the success of their movie🫶

[@brentulstad3275]

I love their direct honesty and "cut the BS & get to the point" attitude they begin with by addressing the terribly distracting issue of urination and universal bodily functions that can inevitably get in the way of your undivided attention and full cinematic experience. It's such an uncomfortable position when you're in the middle of a great story and you're unavoidably distracted mentally and physically, an internal cerebral argument on whether or not you are going to interrupt the moment to go find the nearest appropriate relief hole. But forced suppression of said issue, "holdin it," is terribly distracting, especially when you're unknowingly doing it on the subconscious level. Then you risk the additional headache. When will this unfortunate tyranny be addressed by theaters adding the option of catheters and external bladders attached to the seats? The Cinema Bedpan?

[@mozartsbumbumsrus7750]

That problem's a real PISSER! But......remember when concert performances were several hours long? Of course not....that was the 18th century and long before that.

[@RonGee]

As I've gotten older, my ability to hold it has decreased, and when I saw the title screen for the third act (All at Once), I thought, this is my chance to run to the restroom, thinking that the third act would be the same length as the first two. Alas, after I finished peeing and walked out of the restroom, I saw a stream of people, including my daughter, walking out of the auditorium where the movie just ended.

[@Timyeahhh]

15:22

[@merrykaczmarek3757]

Just saw this film, ugh! It is So violent, so terribly LOUD. I may be missing something, but to me, it’s a sad imitation of our violent, confused, chaotic life that we are living. I like the sprinkle of philosophical musings about what the chapters believe is most important, but ugh it was painful to watch, and I felt just a horrible commentary of our modern lives.😱

[@yingluckypupuu3311]

Oscar just learned Hongkong style movie. The films like this were made in Hongkong during 1980-1990
