Touch Grass: a Short Film

About This Movie

Touch Grass: a Short Film dives into the tangled web of online interactions through the lens of a teenage boy, who’s feeling overwhelmed. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the audience to sit with his anxious thoughts. The atmosphere shifts from claustrophobic indoor scenes to the expansive open roads, reflecting his internal struggle. The film leans into realism, using practical effects to enhance the raw emotion rather than flash. It’s not just about the boy's drive; it’s about the need to disconnect from digital toxicity. The performances, though subtle, carry weight – there’s an authenticity that resonates, making you reflect on your own online experiences. There's something distinctively relatable about its quiet approach to such a universal theme.
