About films
Pi
PI, also titled π, is a 1998 American surrealist psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky.
It is Aronofsky’s directorial debut, and earned him the Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Gotham Open Palm Award.
The title refers to the mathematical constant pi. Like most of Aronofsky’s films, PI centers on a protagonist whose obsessive pursuit of ideals leads to severely self-destructive behavior.

Following
FOLLOWING is a 1998 British neo-noir drama thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance.
As Christopher Nolan’s debut feature, it was designed to be as inexpensive as possible to make: scenes were heavily rehearsed so that just one or two takes were needed, thus economising on 16 mm film stock, the production’s greatest expense, and for which Nolan was paying from his salary.
Without expensive professional lighting equipment, Nolan mostly used available light. Apart from writing, directing, and photographing the film, Nolan also helped in editing and production. These efforts have made the film one of the least expensive films in history.
