A competition selection at the 2013 Berlinale, You Like It, I Love It was Vaughan’s thesis film at the University of Technology Sydney. He remembers it as a combination of interests from that time, namely “cinéma vérité, sly experiments with narrative form and duration, and absurdist theater and comedy.” The film centers on two brothers, Roberto and Chris, propelled through lazy summer days by what Vaughan calls an “inscrutability of desire”—especially Roberto, who’s in directionless, post-graduate limbo. Vaughan, who also edits his films, often guides characters toward off-kilter encounters; here, the brothers share a poolside beer with their neighbor, Tony, whose charisma masks a clear mid-life crisis (he wants Roberto’s opinion on his dream EDM festival built on a vague motion for “social change”).
