Short Films and Mid-Lengths • 11m

Directed by Micaela Durand and Daniel Chew | 12 mins | 2019
A teenager lives her life, toggling seamlessly between her physical and digital self. She walks over a bridge at sunrise, follows a stranger through the streets of the city, and meets up with a friend to wander their favorite spots in NYC.

Comments, in the form of subtitles, puncture this narrative, ranging from casual banter with friends to threatening comments from strangers. It is a glimpse into the realities that teenagers have to negotiate today, how they connect through personas and engage in random digital encounters, and how that shapes them.
