I’m Vaiga – a filmmaker, writer and comedian.

I wanted to write a Pillow Talk episode about a typical millennial couple (based on me and my partner). They’re victims of information overload -social media, ads, self-improvement trends – all constantly telling us what we should be doing, buying or achieving. Instead of making life easier it just adds more to the list.

Previous generations didn’t have smartphones, life hacks and endless productivity tools. They didn’t have groceries delivered to their door at the click of a button. In theory, our lives should be simpler. Instead, they feel overwhelming.

In this sea of things it becomes impossible to prioritise. Taking the bins out and seeing the newest gallery opening end up next to each other on the to-do list.

Watch “So Much To Be Grateful For” on Youtube, starring the wonderful Abi Tallack-Cain and Jamal Riaz, and let me know if you recognise yourself in these characters.
