A character wheel (the biggest infographic) shows the screen time of the characters. The inner wheel demonstrates the time each character interacts with Oliver who takes up the most screen time. The bottom wheel shows the methods of storytelling Mike Mills used (illustration, narration, montage etc) in Beginners.
Film Nerd
Film Nerd is an infographic magazine with its first issue on Mike Mill’s Beginners. The following spreads are excerpts from the magazine that presents Beginners through narrative information. I watched the film several times, extracted the most prominent data and developed all of the infographics, illustrations and handwritten titles in a playful way that captured the film's essence.
A timeline presents the theme historical consciousness through important dates in gay and Jewish history juxtaposed to events in Oliver and his parents' personal lives.
Focus Features shared an interview with Mike Mills who talked about specific locations in the film. The illustrations ranging from taco trucks to the Lovell House are paired with information about each location.
