Disconnect
When a lawyer, an estranged couple, a widowed cop, and an ambitious journalist each wrestle with digital isolation, their intersecting lives force them to confront the hidden dangers of a hyperconnected world.
“Look up.”
Synopsis
A hardworking lawyer, constantly connected to his cell phone, struggles to maintain communication with his family. An estranged couple turns to the internet as a way to escape their lifeless marriage. A widowed former police officer faces the challenge of raising a mischievous son who cyberbullies a classmate. An ambitious journalist sees a potential career breakthrough in a teenager who performs on an adult-only website. Though strangers, these neighbors and colleagues find their lives intersecting as they navigate the difficulties of connection in today's hyperconnected world.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
