In March of 2000, San Francisco's .COM culture was flying high. Hipster 20-somethings hit the nightly circuit of startup launch parties, and Stanford entrepreneurs burned through millions in venture capital in an effort to score the next billion-dollar IPO... A year later, the .COM industry was in shambles, the party circuit had disappeared, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ had lost over 4 trillion dollars in value. Blip on the Screen is a short film that examines the personal effects of the crash on the people who rode the boom for all it was worth, and a postmortem of one of the world's most spectacular - and flawed - bubble economies.
