Starving is a film about the mental health impact of the increasing isolation we all feel as our lives speed up.
We are obsessed with instant fixes to all of our problems. And the more we look to our phones to solve our every fleeting need, the less we are satiated. Whether we’re hungry, lonely, bored… whether we’re looking for validation, meaning, or love.
All of us trying so hard to be someone, living our isolated lives, yearning for real connection.
We created this film during lockdown in the desert of Joshua Tree. As our mental health was fraying, we turned to phones and computers for a sense of community. The deeper we sank, we couldn’t shake this overarching feeling:
Our modern world is starving for authentic connection.
