Life Smartphone is a clever satire about what happens when people trade face-to-face interactions for Instagram stories and Tinder hookups. In a series of absurd scenarios, the characters in Life Smartphone become increasingly alienated from the extraordinary richness of existence as they succumb to smart phone addiction. An animated short that invites us to reexamine our relationship with technology.
