Director's Statement
"I've struggled with the issue of not being able to put my phone down for the longest time. Regardless of time or activity, whether just waking up or eating dinner, I am constantly glued to my screen with whatever content pops up and flies past on my phone. It's a problem that I feel most of my generation faces, and I wanted to document what we feel in our daily lives, where we constantly struggle for air in an infinite sea of technology and social media."
Too Much, Not Enough (2023)
