ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW -- Filmmatters T-Shirt Giveaway!!

Miranda July's feature film debut, has been grabbing up awards from every notable film festival on the planet, from Cannes to Los Angeles. Go see what you've been missing this weekend when the film moves on to wider distribution in theatres across the country.

"Me and You and Everyone We Know is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson (Miranda July) is a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly single shoe salesman and father of two
boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard's seven-year-old Robby, who is having a risqué internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen- year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls— practicing for their future of romance and marriage."

Want a cool, cryptic t-shirt that will have everyone wondering why you're in the know and they aren't?
