Every kid should watch this video, and every parent should nudge their children to get out and re-discover nature and experience the joy of talking to people again.
A new generation is growing up socially inept.
‘Look Up’ is a spoken word film for an online generation. It is a lesson taught to us through a love story, in a world where we continue to find ways to make it easier for us to connect with one another, but always results in us spending more time alone.
Written, Performed & Directed by Gary Turk. Featuring Louise Ludlam & Stuart Darnley. Original score by New Desert Blues.
Sound engineering by Daniel Cobb. Filmed and edited by Gary Turk.

I agree that we shouldn’t have a smartphone in our hands 24/7, but if it weren’t for the online friends I made 10 years ago, the online friends who bought me a home video security system I was too poor to buy when a crazy neighbor threatened my life, the online friends who kept me sane while my mother was slowly dying, the online friends who laughed with me, cried with me, bitch-slapped me when I deserved it, consoled me when I needed it, were there for me when real-life friends weren’t…I probably would have sunk so deep in depression, I wouldn’t be here today. *raises a glass* I celebrate online friendships AND am profoundly grateful for the real-life relationships I have made in the last six years.
