LIKE is an IndieFlix Original documentary that explores the impact of social media on our lives. Technology is a tool. It’s here to stay and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care, but it presents some questions:

• What’s really happening with our relationship with social media?
• Are we addicted? How do we stop?
• Where do we start?
• What do we need to know?

By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain, on our lives

and on our civilization, we can learn how to navigate it more safely together.

Our goal for this film is to inspire people of all ages, especially kids, to self regulate. It’s

not about blame. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create

balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.

Max is an award-winning poet + filmmaker named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. He is also the Head of Education & Content for the Center for Humane Technology, an organization of former tech insiders and CEOs dedicated to realigning technology with humanity’s best interests. Before joining CHT, Max was a media strategist with an extensive background in social, spending more time learning the ins and outs of the facebook algorithm than any human should. He ran social for multinational brands, and later worked for a social media company where he designed some of the same notification structures to distract students that he now criticizes. He provides a unique and much needed critical perspective on the role of technology in the classroom.
