As The Afterparty's first episode, "Aniq" accomplishes a lot. It establishes the murder and the mind movie concept before launching into Aniq's (Sam Richardson) account of the night. That means there are four separate looks at play in this episode, including Aniq's story, which is a romantic comedy. Anything that happens during the murder investiga...
If Aniq's episode is all about warmth, Brett's (Ike Barinholtz) action movie episode is all about coolness: being cool, looking cool, and having the cool visuals to match. Literally. "What we were really responding to were the John Wick films or Atomic Blonde. The more modern, electric, neon tones that you get in these films are unique and strong v...
Yasper's version of the night is a musical filled with bangers, with each song getting the full music video treatment. The standout sequence is hip-hop banger "Two Shots," which evokes everything from rap battles to Eight Mile. Flashing, theatrical lighting and choppier camera movement accompany the song to make it feel like we're in the middle of ...
Speaking of thrillers, let's dive into Chelsea's (Ilana Glazer) story: a tense thriller in the vein of David Fincher. Locations we've already seen in prior episodes, like the high school's gym and hallways, suddenly turn into foreboding places rife with danger. "We joked that any movie that has the word 'girl' in the title, like The Girl with the D...
The Afterparty's fifth episode takes us back in time, where Walt (Jamie Demetriou) retells the story of the high school party that may have laid the ground for Xavier's murder. For references, Herse and Miller began by looking at Y2K-era films like Can't Hardly Wait and even earlier teen classics like John Hughes movies. However, The Afterparty's h...
Animation is the perfect way for artist Zoë (Zoë Chao) to tell her story. Miller and his frequent collaborator Phil Lord (who also produces The Afterparty) have a significant background in the medium, working on everything from The Lego Movie to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Clone High. According to an interview in The Wrap, they turned to ...
With Danner's episode, The Afterparty returns to live-action, this time mimicking the feel of a cop thriller. Since the bulk of The Afterparty takes place in the Bay Area, Herse and Miller wanted this episode to have a distinctly Los Angeles feel. For that, they turned to films by directors like Michael Mann, Tony Scott, and Antoine Fuqua, whose Tr...
As different as all these looks are, Herse and Miller still wanted to create an arc that would connect the genres throughout the season. This meant that techniques used in certain episodes would carry over into others. For example, Herse shot Aniq, Brett, and Yasper's stories with anamorphic lenses to distinguish them from the present timeline, whi...
