2010, 9 mins: I Saw You is Seattle's version of Craigslist Missed Connections. In this short lovers who have posted and answered ads tell their stories. Conclusion: some people on the internet are way, way bonkers. Some are cute and will love you forever.
Say you're a single / bored / lonely Japanese lady. You hire a "host boy" for an evening. He serves as your sexless prostitute while you hang out in his club. He sells to you only his time and dazzling conversational skills. What a great plan, everything is working great!
Riiiiight. The host boys are wonderful characters, but the lady-patrons steal the show. Midway through, and surprisingly, the film changes gears from foreign little Japanese oddity to a very very interesting social commentary. This one is a gem.
Watch it now on Netflix Streaming or buy the DVD from Amazon.
