SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age at Big Picture Theater on Wednesday, May 30th, 6:30pm, sponsored by Hannah’s House. SCREENAGERS is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on kids and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston decided to make SCREENAGERS when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time.
As a director, filmmaker, doctor and mother of two, who has made award-winning films that have aired on PBS and were the focus of national campaigns to raise awareness about mental health Ruston turned the camera on her own family and others—revealing stories of messy struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Interwoven into these stories, are cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on the real changes in the brain when kids are on screens. SCREENAGERS goes far beyond exposing the risks of screen time; it reveals multiple approaches on how parents and educators can work with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time. With teens spending on average 6.5 hours a day on screens and that doesn’t include classroom or homework screen time this is a MUST see movie for parents.
A brief facilitated discussion period will follow and parents are encouraged to bring their Teens to this important community event sponsored by Hannah’s House thanks to Big Picture Theater and The Mad River Valley Community fund. For more information contact Barbara@
