PROJECT SOCIALIZE Documentary (feat. Casey Neistat) Social Media, FOMO, Anxiety

Original release - June 2016

2018 Director's Note:
Two years after the making of 'Project Socialize', Casey Neistat's social media app 'Beme' was bought by 'CNN' and converted into a web-news series, using the app as a tool for journalism. Unfortunately, it seems the market wasn't interested in sharing their unfiltered lives online, but the app was able to pivot in a productive direction. One of the other interviewees, Cesar Kuriyama, has found more success with '1 Second Everyday'. At the beginning of 2018, it was the number one paid app in the app store. More people are trying to find a method of documenting their lives for themselves, rather than others, and '1 Second Everyday' is the best option! Thank you for watching.

In today's world, things like FOMO (the fear of missing out), social anxiety, and a decrease in real life interaction skills are being perpetuated by social media. Project Socialize confronts these issues in a conversational approach while trying to understand how we can use it to compliment real life interaction, rather than damaging it or replacing it all together.
