DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Social media is changing us all. As expectations of living a hyper and “perfect life” are pushed ever higher, what might we be willing to do to satisfy our audience? With or without realizing it, we are dishonest with each other all the time. We constantly adjust our behavior to satisfy the needs of those surrounding us including the needs of our audience. The film explores our changing relationship to entertainment. It interweaves the forces of social media and fame within the evolving landscape of experiential entertainment, and challenges the viewer to consider how they interact with their digital world.
