The Parlor

Today’s post is about a short film that was released in 2001. The film is called “The Parlor” and its directed by Geoffrey Haley. It asks the question: What would an online chat room be like in real life?

I remember being in high school and one of my friends sent me a link to the video. This was during the pre-YouTube years of the internet, when chat rooms were really popular. This film captures the early days of the internet so well. Just goes to show how easy it is to sport a false identity online. Who knows, maybe I’m a 65 year old Japanese woman…
