Doom Scroll is a short mockumentary that digs into the absurdity of an Instagram comment thread spiraling out of control. Through a series of blunt, revealing interviews, it exposes the real people behind the usernames—their motivations, insecurities, and the strange satisfaction that comes from trading jabs with strangers online. The film unpacks how minor disagreements explode into public spectacles and how social media turns personal grievances into performances for an audience. At its core, Doom Scroll is a reflection of our digital age, asking why we can’t look away, why we feel the need to jump in, and what all this chaos says about who we are on and off the screen.
