Experiencing Interruptions?

I Don't Trust People

The phone rings. Lily smiles. She picks up. Six hours later – games, laughs and confrontations later, the FaceTime call ends. In 'I Don't Trust People' we follow Lily, as she navigates love and commitment through the vast and volatile online dating world as a queer woman. In a virtual world of appearances and opportunity, how do we connect and commit?
