Being the one out of the Etheria Film Night Shorts festive with the most common title,I looked for the listings for the film before viewing. Intrigued by comments in reviews about this being a dark Sci-Fi flick,I decided to go live.

View on the film:

Before going to hopefully direct the first adaptation of Jennifer Armentrout's Wicked trilogy, writer/director/lead actress Taryn O'Neill displays the sterile future that her un-named streamer lives in with great cold,grey wide-shots,only coloured by the flashing red "Live" logo popping up.

Attempting to record the Sci-Fi chill of social media invading the life of someone, the screenplay by O'Neil sadly fails to draw a clear outline which would allow the viewer to become invested in the character's experience,instead keeping her detached,as everything goes live.

Interesting Near Future Short Film

I liked 'Live' quite a lot. Reminded me of many Black Mirror episodes and I can see the world moving this way in the future with hundreds of thousands or even millions of live streams replacing stale network television. There are already many influencers out there on Instagram, Twitter and Youtube and marketing departments of pretty well all the brands out there must be drooling at the prospects not too far down the road...
