“It’s been an extraordinary decade, and the rise of social networking and the internet in general have been a huge part of it. I’m fascinated by the way filmmaking and blogmaking are starting to merge. And in this film, the plot is built around those kinds of elements. Things have happened in that decade that are just unprecedented.”
