MANILA, Philippines – For many people today, posting a tweet or sharing a photo on Instagram is second nature. While the social media revolution is hailed for bringing people together and letting everyone be heard, it comes at a price.
This spoken word film written, performed and directed by Gary Turk is aimed at the perpetually wired citizens of an online generation. It’s a story of how a medium that’s designed to bring people together can make them more alone.
As Turk describes it, “‘Look Up’ is a lesson taught to us through a love story, in a world where we continue to find ways to make it easier for us to connect with one another, but always results in us spending more time alone.”
The video got more than 20 million views in less than a month – with social networks themselves helping this short film go viral.
