Director’s Statement

This film comes from a place of curiosity and unease. We are surrounded by technology that claims to connect us, but in reality is tracking us — reshaping our perceptions, influencing what we buy, and quietly steering how we act. It reflects a kind of techno-feudal landscape that erodes our autonomy.
