Are You the Favorite Person of Anybody?

This is a simple, poignant short film, shot on a budget of $150: a man with a survey stops passersby and asks them, "Are you anybody's favorite person?" What a heartbreaking question, for somebody who DOESN'T come first in somebody else's heart! Miranda July, who wrote the short story this is based on, had just finished shooting ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW and made this film in the week between shooting and editing the first rough assembly. Miguel Arteta, who directed, was still in love with her at the time, and in an interview with WHOLPHIN said, "The shoot was painless but sure enough, by the time I started editing, we were broken up. This little short is like a rear-view mirror that survived a fabulous, painful crash."

I found the saddest parts to be a) when the first woman changed her mind and walked away looking so distraught, and b) when the boy who said he was certain he was nobody's favourite person revealed that he had a girlfriend to bring the oranges to.

On the other hand, I don't think love means you have to be someone's favourite. Otherwise, you could only love one person in the world, right? But there are a lot of different kinds of love that you can feel for different people.

IF YOU'RE NOT THE FAVORITE PERSON OF ANYBODY YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT HAVE A HEART AND PROBABLY HURT PEOPLE WHO WOULDVE HAD YOU AS THEIR FAVORITE. THEN AGAIN ISNT BEING SOMEONES FAVORITE ALWAYS CONDITIONAL? AND ARENT THERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO OTHER PEOPLE DONT KNOW AT ALL AND WILL NEVER KNOW IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE AND WORSHIP THEM CELEBRITIES OR GOD?
