LOCK (2021) is a speculative film forecasting the future of decentralised personal-development movements. The film shadows the lives of three people swept up in a digital form of peer to peer therapy called LOCK. Leaderless, this community begins to radicalise itself as practitioners become increasingly invested in developing alternative models for living a meaningful life. Guided by hope, the film questions the desires which drive users to insulate themselves from the outside world.
