It\u2019s embedded in everything we do now, and because of that, we\u2019re prone to broadcasting how stupid and absurd we can be to the outside world. Peter Huang\u2019s short anthology entitled \u201c5 Films About Technology\u201d is a laugh out loud funny and realistic look at how five groups of people all end up committing some kind of ridiculous act with their own technology thanks to stupidity or circumstance.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Every story is interconnected through characters and every story is short but so hilarious. What\u2019s remarkable about the movie, though is that the cast only have about thirty seconds to a minute to pull off their performances and everyone here are top notch. \u201cSunday With the Girls\u201d is a great look at quality time with friends, \u201cSunday with Yourself\u201d features a boffo involving pornhub, \u201cEww\u201d finds an accidental selfie going viral, \u201cFace Time\u201d is a gross end to a self involved business woman, and \u201cGeoffrey\u201d is a one shot capper to the satire about looking up when you&#8217;re texting.<\/p>\n<p>You have to enjoy how director Huang has a field day with satirizing the everyday pitfalls of technology while never thumbing its nose down at society. What\u2019s even more entertaining is that every situation affects the following one, whether the characters realize it or not, exploring how connected society has become. Director Huang keeps his anthology moving at a brisk pace with stories that prop up the gags, and deliver them without a single fault. I\u2019d love to see him approach this idea with a feature length format someday, but as a five minute comedy fix, it\u2019s great, entertaining, and original.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Now Playing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortoftheweek.com\/2017\/04\/12\/5-films-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\">Short of the Week<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology has become such a humongous part of our everyday lives it\u2019s now become a tool that we take for granted, and use without caution.
