“Meby explores a unique period of recent history where the technological and spiritual became inextricably entwined, and, utilizing period-correct production design, with gorgeous 35mm film to better contrast themes of digital vs. physical, Meby thoughtfully illustrates the embrace and distaste of new technology amidst one of the biggest technological advancements to date.”
