Synopsis

'I Phub You' is a silent comedy that centers around Kurtis, a timid young adult trying to communicate in a world where communication is through cellphones and the internet. After an accident that leaves the world around him "silent", Kurtis rediscovers what it means to communicate and ultimately, how to fall in love within the confines of his current condition. It's commentary on the current state of our technologically dependent society told in a unique way. The film is our love letter to classic silent cinema which plays perfectly to our much larger themes of communication, interaction and finding love in an internet-dominated culture.
