Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

What we see visually is a film without a hero, or without filmed footage. The film is entirely made up of Instagram posts that are real and not staged. Today, we are swung by what we see on social media. People of all ages, sexes and class may want to go to a place or avoid it based on how it is portrayed and who consumes it on social media. So imagine a wheel made of Instagram posts spinning and once we talk about a topic, it quickly spins to that direction then the opposite preference of it by showing a real post of both. This technique will allow us to see whatever trend, of whatever age, and truly liberate people from choices by telling them if you prefer this or that it it totally up to you do not let this dictate what you have to like or hate.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction.

A large wheel spins in the sky, elegantly, quietly, representing social media, composed of Instagram posts. it swings whichever way the wind blows it, showing the different ‘formats’ people like to present themselves, trapping themselves in cycle that that never stops.. the director chose to create a peaceful, surreal, and metaphorical landscape to make an analogy of the trap social media has on our lives. once the voice over tells us that ‘you’re not asked to prove anything to anyone’, the wheel unlocks, and drops with gravity, leaving us with a peaceful calm sea at sunset.. no more pressure. The director created this space, wrote this script, and closely executed it with the post house.
