What does modern love look like? In this 3 minute short Plumb explores the mixing of modern technology with silent film. Using texts as subtitles she also delves into the silent world of modern love where young people talk through their smart phones rather than to each other; rather than flirt with their eyes, they flirt with their texts. Rather than smiling they use an emoji to smile for them. The First Date is a silent one. (overthefence.com.au)
