  • Hertzfeldt's 'ME' is an entirely musical work, with no narration or character voices, challenging viewers to piece together the dreamlike narrative on their own.
  • After the original music was removed, Hertzfeldt integrated a diverse soundtrack, including pulsating percussion, classical compositions, and an improvised jazz piece, to transform the film's tone and pacing.
