A human-less society. A proverbial cake walk, but with an hour and a half to spare. Self-described as "a multimedia exploration of the way we live today", Bean shares how social media, Internet addiction, and other modern distractions are slowly eroding away our basic capacity for empathy. It's a film so dire in its sentiment that it's garnered comparisons to Fight Club both in style and tone. When I first saw this film I found myself thinking about all the time wasted scrolling through feeds yet never stopping to check on who was doing what online just down the street from me. What's so scary about this movie is that it really could happen. Herlihy doesn't follow the typical documentary storyline and instead weaves a compelling and suspenseful tale of modern day technology by revealing how it has freed us to live as isolated as possible from those around us within our own homes. Everything the characters in the film do is online, which makes it almost impossible to pinpoint exactly what they're doing. This is because that's all there is to do inside their house, even when they leave because they have WiFi connected everywhere in the home. For anyone who feels a little bit guilty about how much time we seem to be spending online looking at things other people are posting online...well... watch this movie if you dare. It plays into that feeling that we're all living in a bubble and may be in over our heads to the point of no return. It's also an excellent demonstration of how much Internet addiction has evolved since I was a child, and how it's influencing everyone to be "always on". This is one of the most addicting films to come out in years, and Herlihy will play it safe so don't expect revolutionizing filmmaking here. With the advancement of technology making it more and more difficult to tell what people are doing at any given moment, Bean may be right that we're all living in a zombie-like state online. However, for a great film, this is what I'm going to be watching from now on when Netflix is in my pocket. In 2008, Herlihy founded the production company Mekanism with filmmaker James B. Jordan. In the same year, they produced their first short film "T-Minus", which focuses on a couple going through a divorce and how technology ends up being a hindrance to their relationships. The film received positive reviews from critics and gathered considerable awards love during its festival run in 2009 including Best Dramatic Short at Sensoria Film Festival in Spain and Audience Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival. In 2010, it won Best Short at the UK Shorts Awards as well as the Audience Award at the London Short Film Festival. In 2009, "T-Minus" made its television debut on GSN's "G's Top 20 Countdown" and it was featured as a selection on Showtime Network’s "Short Stories." In 2010, Herlihy directed a surfing documentary for Outside Television called "New School Mavericks", an episode of PBS' long-running series Independent Lens called "Treeless Mountain", and a film about surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku entitled "The Duke". In 2013 he directed the feature documentary “Bean”, which premiered at SXSW Film Festival 2013. cfa1e77820
