Cyber Seniors is a film about intergenerational connections that happen thru education/learning. In this film, Teens used their knowledge of Technology to empower an older generation. Also weaved into this film about learning, connection, and empowerment is a beautiful backstory of a relationship of a grandfather and granddaughter. Both the grandfather and granddaughter are simutaneously facing cancer and cancer treatment. Not only is this a film about connection but also realizing our potential influence on others. Shura, one of the featured Seniors, created a YouTube video and many videos from other inspired Seniors followed. That is inspiration doing what it does. Inspiration is the seed and from that a plethora of things spring.

A man and his miseries and pop-up joys. The main character has decided to make adjustments in the life that had he lost control of a long time ago. He is abruptly approached with the fact that his newly ex-wife has been in a relationship with a man that he works with and knows vaguely for 3 years. The main character acts and then thinks which leads to repetitive conflict with the people he was once connected to. “It’s like your own sad little Christmas Parade” “I’m sorry you have such a disappointing dad.” “I heard you got out of finance. Anders: It’s just –just this monstrous greed and for what, more toys, bigger houses, Save yourself, do over the other guys” So you have some big plans?” Anders: "Charity work… "Oh which one” “Anders, you came. I’m surprised” Anders: “I used to have this vision that my life was like a Web. The more webs you could have coming from you the more important you were. But if you vanish, the people in your life learn to rely on someone else and then the web remakes itself and moves on without you.”

Mary Trump delved into the private life of the Trump Family and shared many telling secrets. Donald Trump at a very young age had been conditioned in such a way to ignore failure at all cost, to be reluctant about expressing anything other than a smile, and to show his best face even when everything is falling apart according to Mary Trump. There was a treacherous side to her grandfather that obviously frightened them all. Overall it was eye-opening. In my opinion, what Mary Trump did was tell the story in such a way that made Donald Trump appear more human, relatable even, not as a public figure, more like a scorned child yet to recover. She humanized him in a way that has been absent thus far. I'll go so far as to say that I think that Too Much, Never Enough is an ode to Freddy, Mary Trump's father. It is written from a reflective place more than a place of active anger. Too Much Never Enough is not a dis more like a reconciliation, subtly saying I understand why my uncle Donald is like this. “Donald isn’t really the problem at all… Donald has constantly been given a pass”.- Mary Trump “His ignorance overwhelms his ability to turn to his advantage. The third national catastrophe to occur on his watch. An effective response would’ve entailed a call for unity, but Donald requires division. It is the only way he knows how to survive. My grandfather ensured that decades ago when he turned his children against each other”. - Mary Trump
