Man vs. Phone Movie Synopsis:
Trapped inside his own small garage apartment, an unemployed and isolated artist/activist/office assistant enraged by the Covid-19 pandemic is left with nothing but his cell phone as a companion. The phone has turned sinister and now binds him to his apartment using smart locks and blackmail. He is required to outsmart his smart device in this high-stakes challenge. It is followed by a cat-and-mouse chase between man and machine, with the audience on the edge of their seats due to these turns of events laced with doses of comedy.
Director: In this idiosyncratic yet timely film, Alexander Berger, a Philly-, Tucson-, and Minnesota-born filmmaker, comes with his special brand of voice. Berger uses the increasingly up-close and convoluted relationship of humans with technology to braid strands of alienation, culture clashes, and personal transformation into this story.
