New film Pocket shows a teens’ life through his phone screen, setting a new standard for modern directors. Entertainment is struggling to keep up when it comes to portraying teens’ lives, which are increasingly lived online and on phones. Pocket shows both its subject’s face looking into the phone and what’s on the phone’s screen as the 15-year-old boy scrolls Instagram, messages friends, and more. Entertainment that skips the stereotypes and gives an authentic look into teens’ digital lives is seeing success. (The Atlantic)
