Just You and Me - (Captioned Version)
"Just You and Me", a film noir tale, is the story of a love triangle between Jennifer, her husband Alex, and their friend, Jim. Jennifer has devised a scheme to have her husband murdered so that she and Jim can be together. Will Jim murder his best friend, or won't he? Inspired by Billy Wilder's classic "Double Indemnity", "Just You and Me" was shot on Super 8 Double System Sound, and was my senior class film project at Keene State College in 1984.

Daniel Paul, an independent filmmaker, and a New Hampshire native, began making super 8 films in the early 1970's. He went on to study film production and film theory at Keene State College and was one of the very first film students at Keene State. He has gone on to make a number short, dramatic films, including the award winning short film "Hangover" (1981), documentaries, TV commercials and industrial films.
"Just You and Me" was my fourth, and final film project as a student at Keene State College. It was inspired by the Billy Wilder film noir classic "Double Indemnity". This film was produced by my friend and mentor Bob Gunther, who was a child actor in Hollywood. We all learned so much from working with Bob. I learned more about filmmaking and working with actors on this one film than I had in all my previous film projects combined. It was shot on Super8 with sync sound, and we used Tri-X black & white film to achieve that high contrast, grainy film noir look. This little film was a wonderful and life changing experience for me. The opportunity to work with Bob, my wonderful cast and crew, and falling in love for the first time with the female lead of "Just You and Me" played by Lovel Richardson.
