SYNOPSIS
Living somewhere between a live performance, music video and narrative, this experimental film satirizes our experience as consumers of American media. Following the experience of a young girl, we watch as her self-worth begins to falter while watching a MTV Unplugged-inspired television broadcast. As the broadcast progresses, we watch as their media consumption begins to spread like a virus, eating away at our young protagonist's self-esteem, with surreal results.
