who whom

Explanation:

• For the first blank: "who" is used as a relative pronoun to refer to Richard Linklater (a person) and is the subject of the clause "directs films...".
• For the second blank: "whom" is incorrect here. The correct structure should be "for whom" (but the original sentence has a pre - position "to" wrongly placed.

But the original sentence has a pre - position error. But among the given options, for the second blank, if we assume the intended relative clause is about the people (the antecedent "people"), and considering the relative pronoun for the object of a pre - position (if the pre - position was in the correct place), it should be "whom".

However, if we consider the relative clause "the project was meaningful enough...", the relative pronoun should refer to "people" and be the object in a sense (the project was meaningful to them). So "whom" is the correct form for the object.
