Experiencing Interruptions?

Blue

In 2016, a social network phenomenon known as ‘The Bluebird Challenge’ spread across several countries and shocked the entire world. The game required participants to complete several tasks over a 50-day period and ultimately challenged them to commit suicide.
The footage discovered in a remote part of the internet known as ‘deep web’ follows the journey of Veronica Cartwright as she decides to take part to the game, and sheds new light on the dynamics and consequences of this challenge.

Director Statement

‘Blue’ is a critique to the reckless use of social networks and the desperate need to go viral on the internet in our modern society. Moreover, the film is a journey into the darkest place of a lost soul who is unaware of the danger of a popular game which guarantees fame but ends up taking everything.
