PressPausePlay

PressPausePlay is a film about how advances made in technology have brought forth a world where anyone can be creative if they want. It's about how technology has broken down walls so now the creative process is no longer a mystery. Everyone can be an artist. The problem with that is with so many people creating it can be easy to get lost in the crowd. With so many things out there to look at and discover it is impossible to see it all and some people will inevitably get overlooked where 10 or 20 years ago they might have been on top. Technology has made things easier and lets more people create but it then makes it harder for anyone to get ahead and noticed. The digital revolution has left talent in the dust. Technology can create mediocrity. I think it's an interesting problem that isn't talked about all that much. The real question is what comes after the digital revolution?

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.

But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era.
