Remember those early years, when you couldn’t talk to your crush until you found out they liked a certain band. Or how much easier it was to say something by updating your MySpace or making a mixtape for someone? It’s the same today—only now it’s a reshared Reel, or an Instagram Story with a snippet of a song that says it all for you; or a Note that can spark a DM.
These short films are the stories of today.
Shown through an observational camera, and the camera gen z use to show each other—in all its awkward, angsty glory.
Shot in Austin, Texas in the real homes and hangouts of today’s youth culture, with dialogue that was often improvised and off-the-cuff, the approach presents an authentic look at a generation with genuine authenticity.
