The project:
SCREENMAXING (AT) is a short concept thriller. In a society where everyone is fighting for attention, a young inconspicuous woman wants to win the eyes and ears of the masses. Lisa creates videos on social media but doesn't get noticed, no matter how much effort she puts in. She gets to the bottom of the matter, reads attention studies and informs herself about human psychology. But as she searches for information to make her voice louder, she gets lost in the attention of others and ultimately loses herself.

PROFESSOR/IN HACKMAN (40+, W/M)
Small, lean figure, socially critical and antisocial. In an eloquently cynical tone, he/she captivates the audience and preaches about the decline of society due to the overly rapid development of new technologies. Despite their cautionary nature, the lectures are loved, which is why they are recorded and even make waves on the Internet. Viewers understand the professor's criticism all too well, find his/her wisdom and boundless intelligence entertaining and love his/her authentic character: a clever social outsider who hates people for their stupidity but sees him/herself as a stupid person.
In the film, she lectures exclusively to students.
