Suni lives a solitary life, retreating into the world of streaming from the confines of her small apartment. As "Senshi Suni," she streams first-person shooter games, finding not only comfort and financial support from her growing community but also creating a safe space for herself and others.

While she strives for mental healing, Suni must also confront the pervasive sexism and darker aspects of online life.

Thoughts

In a world often focused on dystopian visions of the future, I am fascinated by the possibilities change can bring. New communication technologies allow us to rethink traditional relationships and explore alternative ways of connecting.

For me as a filmmaker, it is not about offering solutions, but about capturing this ambivalence—where the same digital space can be both empowering and destabilizing, comforting and confronting.
