Why did you choose to explore this topic?
I was sick of people (including myself) being addicted to their cellphones. It’s only gotten exponentially worse since I made this, so I guess the message wasn’t received!
Where has it screened: It played at a few festivals, nothing prominent really. Shock Therapy was by far the best festival it screened at and one of the best fests I’ve ever attended. Seriously, great line up of carefully chosen Canadian films.
