This movie is a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate. It's very unique and you've never seen a movie like this, told in this way. It uses new language and new technology, a new language of storytelling. It's an evolution in movies – what they can be, how they're told, who's telling them. At the same time, it's a big-screen thriller. The movie was made on small screens but made to be seen on the big screen.
This movie is an incredible crowd-pleaser. It won the Audience Award at Sundance. It's a really tight, well-made thriller that you haven't seen before.
