Director Statement

This film is a satirical look at the behavior that surrounds social-media culture and the ever-increasing obsession with social-media. History has shown us that people can take social conventions to the extreme and this film plays with that premise. Additionally, the film asks; if someone valued their online presence more than a real-world existence, would that push them to becoming violent?
