The Film
Set in the not-too-distant future, Hookup is a science fiction drama that follows the story of Michael, a lonely escapist, as he turns to the virtual world in search for distraction and companionship. Candice, a femme-fatale A.I., is programed to provide the escape Michael needs, while maximizing profit for the company that created her, the TriGaze corporation.
Hookup follows Michael down the virtual reality rabbit hole as his he realizes the company's cash-grab tactics, and Candice's true programming is revealed. The film touches on topics such as addiction and the influence of media on the human psyche.
We feel this film is important because it highlights the disconnection that technology causes within society. The world of Hookup is obsessed with distraction, and Michael is a victim of the effects of this paradigm.
