#tagged

This is a short film about the sweet intimacy and destructive power of social media - told through the screen of a smartphone. #tagged is the story of Elise, a 14 year old girl, and her mobile phone. We watch as the content she posts on different social media gets out of hand, and out of her control. Her phone turns from being her best friend to her worst enemy. We view 24 hours of her life, looking through her eyes, we view her surroundings only via her smartphone, and only when it is turned on. The story is told entirely through popular mobile phones apps, text messaging, video/ photo making... and the contrasting relation to the live surroundings which the audience sees out of focus and mostly hears in a textured sound design.
