Connected: An Autoblogography About Love, Death & Technology (2011)
A Must See Documentary!
Connected is one of those rare films that engages, entertains and makes you continually and thoughtfully ponder long after you've seen it.
It is one cleverly interwoven film integrating two constructs: One is a big picture adventurous roller coaster ride utilizing found footage, fabulous animation and music to uniquely give a historical snapshot of globalism, humanism, technology, and the interconnectivity between them all.
The other aspect is a lovely, emotionally-charged story of Tiffany Shlain's own personal life as she begins to come to terms with her own connections during a challenging time in her life. Tiffany, filmmaker & founder of the Webby Awards, is a thought leader of innovation and it's fascinating to see someone immersed in 21st century high tech question her own relationship to it and the world as well as the good, bad & potential of all this connectivity.
Watch this film! You'll never look at life...or even hugging someone the same again ;)!
