Anette Mattsson

COO at Storyfire

“Absolutely brilliant short film, so contemporary, so much said without words at the end.”

BACKSTORY

This satire takes a creative and humorous approach to the themes of conformism and the dangers of online mob rule. It combines live-action with animation to tell a story about an advertising illustrator who refuses to conform to peer pressure. In the background there’s a more universal question: What would you do if you recognized that what the group is doing is wrong?
