What has a greater impact- film on society, or society on film? Over the course of my college experience, through my courses in Film and Sociology, that one question intrigued me more than others. For my thesis, I wanted to explore this question further and in a way that also incorporates and celebrates my love of creative style, dance, and human interaction. I chose the format of a documentary to ask students how film has impacted their world, and how much they feel the world has impacted what they watch. By hearing from a variety of perspectives, it was fascinating learning and discussing this topic with a broader group of people. As members of functioning society, we unknowingly contribute to this cycle. My hope is that when watching this documentary, we are able to reflect on the media-driven world, and recognize the powerful pattern between what we watch and how we live.Type
