A new kind of documentary for the 21st Century?


I can think of no other movie that is constructed the same way. This documentary is assembled from social media clips, taken from Periscope and Blab, which are edited to tell a compelling story about deception, delusion, degradation, and desperation.

Is there any film released before Jan. 9, 2016 that is constructed only from such found sources, let alone tells a story? Quite possibly one of several firsts in this modest little documentary.

There have definitely been films made that were shot via phone camera and/or webcam alone, but an actual documentation of a person's social media behavior? This has to be a first of its kind.

I'm sure if anyone without knowledge of the KAF universe saw this film, they'd think of it as a mockumentary like "I'm Still Here" starring Joaquin Phoenix. But the fact that it's all legitimate and original footage from social media makes it truly one of a kind.

The filmmakers should be very proud of their work with this; they did an awesome job.
