Director's notes
In the Self-media, the popularity is rated by the number of clicks. Therefore, many so called cyber celebrity are doing ridiculous and extreme behaviors to attract audience’s attention. The plot of this story are inspired by some of the true stories that happening on the internet. Use black humor to make the audience think about the absurdity of such a social phenomenon.
