Director Statement

This documentary is an alarm. It's a stark, and that "unblinking" look at the dark underbelly of the digital world, the content farms, the mobs, and the pervasive culture of harassment. I began documenting this part of my life as a teenager, at 15 years old, and what unfolded was a deeply personal journey through a nightmare I didn't ask for. It's a documentary of being targeted, and of being a teenager witnessing the orchestrated lies and fabricated narratives designed for pure sadistic pleasure and monetary gain. This official documentary film is a powerful piece of truth. In the face of swatting attempts, property damage, and daily threats, documenting my experience became an act of defiance. Project: Bullyish is a testament to resilience, a refusal to be silenced or "wiped from the earth," as some have threatened. It's a story of survival, of finding hope amidst the chaos, and a call to others to seek truth instead of participating in venomous hatred. - Lillee Jean
