YOU AGAIN profiled in DIRECTORS NOTES
“Whilst there’s much to admire in the natural flow of single shot cinematography from DoP Markus Englmair, it’s the playfully combative, dynamically delivered dialogue between Nathan Darrow and Dominique Johnson, who also wrote and directed, which makes this chance encounter between two ex-high school sweethearts such a joy to watch.”
