App Trapped

App Trapped depicts metaphorically how badly the current generation is unaware of the adversity social media could cause in the future. So, the negative impacts of social media are displayed through a mime act. To put it simply, the color frame represents the present whereas the black and white frame represents the future. The present us are traveling vast without realizing the adversity, and can the future let us rectify our mistake again and break the cycle of social media addiction?

Director Biography - Santhiya Ganeshamurthy

Hi fellow reader, I'm an aspiring filmmaker who is now pursuing her pre-university studies in the science stream. However, I believe that each visual creation that I'm creating holds an impactful meaning yet emerges as a learning zone for me as a fellow amateur filmmaker, or I'd say an aspiring filmmaker. But, rest all assured, I love experimenting with new concepts that makes my work stand out, and that's a promise I can make to you when it comes to my passion.

Director Statement

I see this world just as how my film shows it, they call it "complicated" but I call it intellectual. On the whole, it's not the greatest creation but it can make your neuron work rapidly and make you experience how an overthinker like me thinks and creates.
