Kalla, a young artist, is eager to gain visibility and recognition for her work. When she is invited to join an online trading forum, she jumps at the chance to trade watch time to gain social media exposure. However, as she begins to watch and consume content on the
server, Kalla quickly realizes that this high-pressure environment is more demanding than
she thought.

Script and artistic direction by Morgane Billuart, animation by Martin Eichler, rigged animation by Viktor Eichler, animation, and art support direction by Lauren Fong, and sound mixing by Rick Haring.
