The Trap: DigitalYoog Media Production has entered the independent film industry with the release of its first short film, “The Trap”; a social themed film that showcases how today’s society is becoming increasingly dependent on their mobile phones. The film also serves as the launch vehicle for a new performer, Shivam Singh, who is making his debut as the lead performer in this film.

Concept of “The Trap”

“The Trap” tells the story of how excessive smartphone use has taken over our everyday lives and is shown through people of all age groups; students to working professionals to senior citizens, `how people are slowly but surely losing their ability to connect with other people and engage in physical activity and being emotionally healthy due to the amount of time they spend on their devices. The film tells the story of how people live their lives in a digitally-dominated world through a very simple but relatable way.

Awareness about responsible mobile phone usage

The filmmakers say that the main goal of this project is to raise awareness about responsible mobile phone usage. Since technology is now such an integral part of our lives, the film’s message is that we need to find a healthy balance between how we connect with people via technology and how we connect with them in person. The belief is that over-reliance on smartphones leads to social isolation, a decrease in productivity, and a deteriorating sense of connection to one another.

The Trap is Relatable to most people

Representatives of Digital Yoog Media Production said about the project, “The Trap” was intended as a powerful first step to get people back into their environments, moving more actively. The movie encourages audiences to think about how they use technology, rather than letting it dictate how we spend our time, energy and how we relate to others. By dealing with this topic in a way that is relatable to most people, DigitalYoog Media Production hopes to start discussions about this topic among families, schools and communities.

New chapter in creating socially relevant content

With “The Trap,” Digital Yoog Media begins a new chapter in creating socially relevant content through its film production division. This film perfectly aligns with DigitalYoog Media’s overall strategy of combining creativity and responsibility. While, at the same time, introducing Shivam Singh to the audience, it is also a sign that DigitalYoog Media will continue to discover and assist in developing new talent and create films with a strong social component. DigitalYoog Media intends to produce films and digital content that highlight current relevant societal issues and promote positive change in society for years to come.
