PHONE ADDICTION | Animated Short Film

PHONE ADDICTION is an animated short film about screen time, social media addiction, and a little brother who keeps asking, "wanna play?". It's a wordless, emotional short film about phone addiction in teenagers: what we miss while we scroll, and how one small choice can bring us back to the people we love. Every morning his little brother runs into his room with a ball, and every morning he gets the same answer: "later." His screen time grows to 9 hours 41 minutes a day while TIME WITH BROTHER stays at 0. Every night a paper plane slides under his door with the words "wanna play?" on it. He never notices them. Then one day his brother stops asking, and he finds out where the paper planes went. This animated short film is for every teenager who can't put the phone down, for every older brother or sister, and for anyone who has ever said "later" to someone who just wanted a little of their time. Phone addiction and endless scrolling are easy to fall into. Getting out can start with one small step: turn the phone off for an hour and say yes. If you're struggling with your mental health, you're not alone.
