      Because a lot of us joined social media as young children, we didn't know the consequences until it was too late. While we are responsible for downloading social media, it is never OK to blame someone for being cyberbullied or feeling self-conscious about their body. The male and female beauty standard is literally propaganda; everywhere and inescapable, so the victims are not responsible for being affected by it. Everyone reacts to those ideals differently.

      A former Facebook executive (Chamath Palihapitiya) even admitted he feels "tremendous guilt" for the damage they've done. “I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works," recommending people take a “hard break” from social media.
      “The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works,” he said, referring to online interactions driven by “hearts, likes, thumbs-up.” “No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth.”

    A lot of people are seeing how the film relates to overconsumption but I think it’s also a good representation of the stripping of individuality when it comes to tailoring our tastes (which is a form of self expression) to trends (which, most are short lived) rather than our own values, experiences, and communal subcultures as a part of our identity being well rounded individuals, not just dolls on a phone screen or poster.

    I used to be a pornstar and social media influencer and now in recovery. I'm just making art analogue now, supporting my local community and trying to rehabilitating myself back into the "real world" it's crazy how it feels like you are sucked into another world. I am still on a path of recovery. The rise and fall of fame is not at all good for everyones mental health. This short film really captures the feeling of being sucked in.

      Well, all social media platforms have some kind of toxicity going on. RUclips allows you to have full control of your own interests rather than it simply throwing stuff at you, although RUclips Shorts is practically a TikTok clone. You can even turn off your watch history to disable your daily feed for less distractions, and I've seen one user say that they can actually learn useful skills info on here, but that you still have to be selective. Meanwhile, TikTok bombards you with videos the whole time and even ACCESSES your phone's mic when you're not looking.

Then hyperfixate on the cute new clothes I'm going to need, buy a bunch of stuff for lighting and recording, realize you can't post the same few outfits over and over, look for more outfits, think about how much I'm spending vs making, and eventually burnout.

    Not only does this feel like an indie student film from 2017-18, but it has a powerful, timeless message to go along with it. A message that hits close to home and is so urgent in a world more concerned with competition than self-expression. In high school, I was so concerned with trends that I often dug through my dad's wardrobe to find the "correct" drip. Now I pay for my own fashion and stay true to my own style based on my personal interests. I wouldn't have 2 Joy Division tees if I was too focused on staying "on trend." With that said, congrats on your first major motion picture, Soph! I can see that Vewn has played a role in your growth as an animator.
