Cultural/Context information for the jury
It reveals a clever twist to resolve of the plot, driving home the lesson about a responsibly handling content on social networks and their dissemination - a topic that could not be more relevant today. Smartphones are a central part of teenagers' everyday lives. They enable uncomplicated communication and connect people. Many users experience painfully that not every moment in life is intended for the public. The film draws attention to more responsibility in dealing with self-produced content.
Tell the jury about the production design/art direction. You may wish to comment on choices, challenges or effects.
The production design was meant to be as authentic and realistic as possible. The whole film had to feel like taken from real life and TV. And at the same time the whole film had to be very cinematic and epic. This was a thin line for art direction and production design and involved several aspects from creating original merchandise of the creature as well as the right and realistic environment for the people to live in.
