Statement
The internet is a “no man’s land” of endless content to consume. There is something for everyone, even kids. Jasmine herself was one of these children, raised on the internet in the early 2000s, and has seen many different kinds of content… especially SCAMS. Children are smart these days, but that doesn’t mean they have the common sense to not fall for scams. With the power of early 2000’s internet and the exploration of children and cyber security, independent animator and filmmaker Jasmine Soompholphakdy helps you experience what it’s like to be a kid exploring cyberspace and encountering one of its many villains: HACKERS, using 2D and 3D animation. Inspired by her time on ROBLOX and being a fan of comedic cartoon television shows like Adventure Time and Apple and Onion, this cartoon film will take you on a trip through the soft pinks of reality, the neon lights of the cybernet, and even the 3D polygons of online 3D video games with a comedic tale of a child getting her account hacked on the internet, and how she plans on getting it back.
