SXSW 2026 - Your Attention Please, Dreamquil and Lesbian Simulator

Send us Fan MailYour Attention Please is a doc that follows the change makers fighting back against Big Tech's agenda to define the future of human connection. We are joined by director Sara Robin, cinematographer Yahna Harris, and inventor Trisha Prabhu, to discuss healthy ways in which they counter screen time, and setting intentions for our use of technology.Dreamquil is set in the not so distant future when poor air quality leads people to live their lives mostly virtually, and Carol, a dissatisfied career mother, signs up for a digital wellness retreat in an attempt to get her life back on track. We are joined by co-writer/director Alex Prager to discuss how she created the feel of this future universe, and our struggle to maintain a sense of humanity in the age of AI.Lesbian Simulator is a VR experience that creates awareness and empathy in a fun and playful manner. We were excited to chat with creator Iris van der Meule about queer joy and the positive reactions she's been receiving from around the world.Follow Your Attention Please on IGFollow director Sara Robin on IGFollow cinematographer Yahna Harris on IGFollow inventor Trisha Prabhu on IGFollow Dreamquil on IGFollow director Alex Prager on IGFollow digital creator Iris van der Meule on IGThank you to our sponsors, Standard Deviant Brewing and The Tech We WantAudio Produced by Jeff Hunt of Storied: SFCo-hosted by John Wildman of Films Gone WildSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
