Matthew Toffolo chats with filmmaker David Goog about his one-minute film, which has been accepted into multiple film festivals. David explained that the film, based on his personal feelings rather than a true story, centers on a first date where he judges his date based on her liking Ed Sheeran, reflecting on how people's tastes and fandoms can define their identities and create judgmental attitudes. The film was made for about £100 with his creative partner Jackie Tamayo, who also co-starred, and was shot in an authentic cafe setting. David discussed how the film resonates with audiences because it speaks to universal experiences of judgment based on likes and dislikes, particularly in today's social media era where everyone's preferences are publicly known. He expressed surprise at the film's success and mentioned his plans to create a larger project called "Chango" about an eco-revolutionary character, though he questioned whether he has the energy to direct a full feature film.
