“LIKE” Filmmaker at S.B. High School

On Thursday, March 12th at 6:30 PM,  a filmmaker will  screen her movie made to address one of the most serious epidemics in the world.  And, no, it’s not Coronavirus.

IndieFlix’s original documentary “LIKE” continues to achieve the impossible:  actually getting kids & teens to put their phones down.   To date, 2 billion smartphone owners are checking their phones, on average, 150 times a day.  The filmmakers of “LIKE” have finally created a way to arouse kids and teens to consider a life of JOMO (“joy of missing out”) as opposed to FOMO (“fear of missing out”).

The film shocks its audiences with its exclusive interviews from Silicon Valley insiders (including the co-creator of Facebook’s “Like” button) who break down the addiction-causing algorithms behind the apps.  The country’s top medical experts explain the similar effect social media has on the brain to heroin and falling in love.  It’s all intertwined with interviews with real-life kids and teens willing to share their personal addiction struggles with the tiny devices.

Scilla Andreen, CEO and Co-Founder of IndieFlix and Director/Executive Producer of “LIKE”. will moderate the post-screening Q & A, designed to encourage audiences to share and evaluate their relationships social media.  As with all of their movies, audiences will leave equipped with easy-to-execute strategies and tips to make real change that very same day.
