Director Statement:
Likemeback was born of the desire to investigate the potential effects that social media and privacy violation can have on friendships.
The story of three girlfriends on a holiday at the age that perhaps best represents the risks and opportunities of the use of social media –just out of high school between their first taste of freedom and adulthood– was a good way of observing ongoing social transformations in an intimate context, and also reevaluating a moment in my own life that I recall as being decisive.
