Your Attention Please - film and panel discussion with Kristin Bride

A quiet revolution is underway: As the real-world consequences of social media come into focus, a new generation of parents and teens step forward to challenge the systems shaping their lives and fight for a different future.

A new generation of parents, teens, and reformers are fighting back against Big Tech’s agenda to define the future of human connection. From Kristin, a mother pursuing legislative reform after losing her son, to Trisha, a young programmer building technology to stop cyberbullying, the film reveals how deeply the attention economy is shaping childhood, mental health, and human connection.

As lawmakers debate social media reform, Gen Z launches a global Offline Club movement, and a high school dares to go phone-free. What emerges is not a doomsday story, but a hopeful one: proof that the attention crisis is not inevitable and that a cultural shift is already underway.

Blending intimate human stories with insights from leading experts in tech reform and digital wellbeing, Your Attention Please asks some of the most urgent questions of our time: Can we reclaim our autonomy? Can technology be redesigned to serve humanity? And what does a healthier relationship with the digital world look like for us and our kids?
