My overall impression

Are social networks and technology bringing us closer together? Or, are they creating new barriers to true intimacy and connection? Those questions are light-heartedly explored in #Hashtag. Steering our hero, Kit (Spencer Devlin Howard) through the rocky shoals of interpersonal relationships is the smarmy assistant to his new (and unseen) Hollywood agent (Nathan Turner). Other notables include Brian Paul Johnson as Ivan, the neo-luddite who has no idea what a hashtag is, and Katie Wilert as the long-suffering girlfriend Kip loves but can’t seem to connect with in person. Keep your phones on, record, Tweet, Vine and Instagram to your heart’s content through this hour-long episodic story.
