Us & In Between by Katia Shannon
katiashannon.m...
"Knowing my target audience is important in shaping the tone of the film. For Us & in Between, I wanted to appeal to younger audiences and subvert the reductive vision of growing older a lot of people have. In that light, the coming-of-age genre became an inspiration for my aesthetic choices, highlighting the couple’s assertion, desires, and rebellion. Whenever Agnes or Eddie are on screen together, bold colours remind us of their youthful interior life and the intensity of their love, contrasting with their institutional surroundings."
