Title: Bubble

Set in the digital world, on a social media platform such as Facebook, the film tells the story of how a group of university students and their teachers react to a stupid, but very small, incident. Professor William Barrett, a senior lecturer in history, arrives to give a lesson on his pet topic, the civil rights movement but finds that his students are too busy talking to listen. When he unsuccessfully asks them to settle down, he says that he can’t be heard “over a bunch of giggling sluts!” Hurley’s ironic touch is that Barrett’s inability to be heard is a prelude to a story about other social groups and individuals being listened to. Or not.
