Kirsten Dunst short film shows how celebrity selfies go too far

MANILA, Philippines – What do you do when you spot a celebrity on the street?

These days, the celeb-spotting experience is never complete without whipping out your smartphone and taking a selfie – or three. This seems like a logical move, since getting your picture taken with a celebrity is par for the course even in the days of instamatics. 

In the short film “Aspirational,” directed by Matthew Frost for VS Magazine, we see how the selfie generation may have taken things a little too far. Spiderman and The Virgin Suicide’s Kirsten Dunst, playing herself, waits for a ride when a couple of fans accost her into taking a ton of smartphone shots. The experience is not exactly pleasant, and calls to question whether we’re more excited over actual experiences, or getting to post about these experiences on social media.
