Navigating the darker side of social media has been a major theme of several recent films like Ingrid Goes West and Eighth Grade. It’s a poignant time to be talking about the social effects of the digital world on the real world. The burning desire we seem to have developed for the internet to like our #blessed selfies and photos of our avocado toast can quickly lead to full blown social anxiety if left unchecked.
This is exactly what New York based writer and director Lizzie Logan challenges in her new indie rom-com People People, which follows the story of an internet obsessed millennial and vlogger named Kat (Natalie Walker) who also happens to have not left her apartment in a long time. A very long time. Self-diagnosed as agoraphobic, Kat’s only non-family real world interaction is with her delivery guy, Colin (David Rosenberg).
With People People now available to rent/buy on VOD, Lizzie Logan talks about the ups and downs of independent filmmaking and how People People successfully came together with a talented team working on a next-to-nothing budget. People People has screened at the Citizen Jane Film Festival, the Lift-Off NYC Film Festival and the deadCenter Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Narrative Feature.
