Nothing Ever Happens in Burbank, CA (2023)
Ever sat down with a couple of friends, doing nothing? Where nothing gets accomplished and having conversations? Then—those conversations don’t really lead to anything significant, just totally random. Yet—you don’t seem to mind. You enjoy the sensation of being in good company with your friends. This is a day in a life in Burbank, CA, for young Gen-Z. Through a series of short vignettes, we get a glimpse of the anxieties, joys, hopes, dreams and expectations from today's young adults.
