Hello People I’ve never met before.

hello there people I’ve never met before is a quiet and observational portrait of Zeke Ames, an introverted man whose life has been shaped by solitude, art, and unexpected career turns. The film traces Zeke’s early years spent indoors, where hours of watching his favorite plays sparked a deep love for acting. This artistic passion contrasts with the more pragmatic arc of his adult life—beginning with work in the Maine Media kitchen and culminating in his current role as IT administrator.

By centering on Zeke’s quiet resilience, the film offers a subtle meditation on how identity, ambition, and circumstance intertwine to shape the paths we take.
