😭 Thank you for saying this. I've spent most of my career ashamed of the fact that I am a maximalist filmmaker (connected to my, until recently, undiagnosed ADHD). I admired and envied the minimalist masters (like kogonada) but knew I could never have the confidence to do it.🧵

So much discussion around "important" art is usually focused on minimalism/restraint, subtly/nuance. But I'm now realizing there is a place for work like ours, especially in a world where there is too much to process, maybe maximalist art is essential to meeting this moment.
@dunkwun I’m a massive fan of maximalist cinema, and I can’t wait to see your film, so do you have any reccomendations for maximalist films that have both inspired you and helped you make Everything Everywhere All At Once?
