Starving

We are obsessed with instant fixes to all of our problems. And the more we look to our phones to solve our every fleeting need, the less we are satiated. Whether we’re hungry, lonely, bored… whether we’re looking for validation, meaning, or love. Starving is a film about the mental health impact of the increasing isolation we all feel as our lives speed up.

Directed by Bobby Louise, Brig, Starving leans on a strong ensemble — Lindsay Sawyer, Micah Cohen, Julia Valentine Larson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
