STAFF at Pixar and Lucasfilm have been treated to a movie screening of a different kind.
The Hollywood film factories requested a viewing of Dr. Delaney Ruston’s movie about the “biggest parenting problem of our time”, how much time kids should be spending with screens.
The documentary shows a kid who’s addicted to video games and a girl who shared a photo of herself in a bra. It also offers solutions to parents’ frustrations, such as what rules to have about when to put the screens away.
The movie, made with Lisa Tabb, an ABC news producer, is called Screenagers, and is being shown at New York’s Core Club this week.
Instead of hitting the exhibition trail, the two women are hoping to encourage corporations to license the movie to promote the message of protecting kids’ mental health. There’s a trailer at screenagersmovie.com.
