Isolation echoes through a young woman’s webcam. Directing trio Arryana Jocelyn Walls, Nadia Freitag, and Nel Jesiak present “Keeping Company,” a post-internet horror piece where a 20-something disintegrates into pixel noise. Robbie keeps her webcam going on record almost all of the time. We watch Photo Booth playback through the desktop point of view—apartment parties, hangouts with her girlfriends, and, most often, Robbie alone in her room. The computer becomes her primary confidant as she’s lured further into isolation. As the film makes a formal departure in its final moments, Robbie surrenders to the possessive force altering her persona. It’s an expressionistic account of an extremely self-documented social landscape and the psychological repercussions. -JM. Directors: Arryana Jocelyn Walls, Nadia Freitag, Nel Jesiak.
