In this dizzyingly inventive animated short, a nameless protagonist finds themselves trapped in a relentless cycle of digital consumption, where every swipe and tap offers a fleeting dopamine hit but leaves an aching void. Directed by Nigel Tierney and Federico Heller, the film follows an ordinary individual whose life becomes increasingly dominated by a glowing smartphone, pulling them away from real-world connections and into a surreal, neon-lit labyrinth of notifications, ads, and endless scrolling. Voiced by Tehillah Alphonso, Selene Bastiany, and Aria Gunn among others, the characters personify various distractions and temptations that lure the protagonist deeper into their addiction. The central conflict emerges as the protagonist struggles to break free from this digital dependency, confronting the psychological and emotional toll of being perpetually plugged in. With a fast-paced, visually striking animation style that mirrors the chaotic energy of modern media, Addicted to It balances dark humor with poignant commentary on the human cost of technology. This six-minute journey serves as a cautionary yet relatable tale about finding balance in a world designed to keep us hooked.
