Short Film: Tech Savvy (2022)

Synopsis

A mother and her children bicker over breakfast. They make a lot of Game of Throne references, which was probably the “hip” thing to do in 2019. The mother then talks to a friend over Skype, and they talk about Charlotte’s ex-husband’s new girlfriend. They decide that Charlotte needs to set up an online dating profile.

She gets ready to choose a profile picture and Photoshops out a mole. Then the mole on her real body vanishes… This could lead to trouble!

Commentary

I really hate Charlotte and her children. No one is that fake-cheerful all the time. Still, it’s well-shot and looks good, and the story goes just about where you expect it to.

Always color in the lines– and especially learn how the “undo” function works.
