'Relationship Status: Online' (Short Film)

Where do we draw the line between personal and public. Which relationship has more life in it - the one in person, or the one online?

Sure, its a wonderful thing being able to post up the beauty and joy of a relationship. But one too many times I’ve seen couples who don’t look as nearly loving as their posts online portray them to be.

Always build the relationship in front of you people. Then everything else will follow.

“The Unplugged Project” explores 4 different, unique stories for each episode but having a synonymous theme of the need to use technology wisely and be unplugged every once in a while.

“The Unplugged Project” is an original collaboration between TheMingThing and Digi. 100% created and produced by TheMingThing - it is a new take on the web series format with our friends at Digi supporting the good message it conveys. They believe that instead of being antisocial with technology, nobody should be alone when we can be together.

A special shout out to Digi to be the first ever team to be a part of something we're doing and supporting it so tremendously!

I think close relationships are just too precious to be shared with through social media. They're meant to be kept as memories in our hearts instead of in the internet.

[Amanda-bgqv]

Sometimes the beauty of a relationship is having little secrets that only the both of you know.

You don't have to prove or show off to others how happy you are.

It can be felt and seen by others. They'll know if you're happy.
And if they don't, so what?

Your heart knows it. Your loved ones can feel it. That's all that matters.

3 things should be PRIVATE

1. Relationship
2. Income
3. Next move

[chiaozzzz]

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard.

This video has a really strong message. I see couples everywhere on social media and they are always so sweet. People, I envy them and people comment that they are "relationship goals" but this film highlights a kind of negative side to that and it is eye opening.

[SweetEssie]

I love how it didn't have too much dialog but let the acting and background music tell the story.

Once I was in this restaurant and there were two couples sitting next to us. Four of them were all over their phones and for probably half an hour, there was absolutely no talking. It was sad.

[miamoore]

the way that they didn't break up in the end was a beautiful twist that made me love it so much more. this was perfection

[dontlikethatbro]

This is why I never post up any of my relationship stuff online.

....also mostly because I dont have a girlfriend. #cryincorner

[nightwicxw]

I'm just impressed about the photo camera quality

[lisak]

That's why it is best to keep your relationship as "offline" as possible. Just keep it to yourselves. Maybe update your status if you feel like it, post a picture or two, but .. Just live in it.
Besides, some people don't feel like getting your relationship getting shoved down their throats either.

I find people who share a bit too much of their relationship online to be pretty annoying lol..

[dmingthing]

How much is too much when it comes to publicising your life or even more private, your love life... on social media?

Tell us about your thoughts and experiences or any stories that you know of in the comments! :)

Honestly, who thinks TMT is underrated?? These guys are way too talented!! :D

[jassypanda]

I feel like the girl only cared about her social media so she got a boyfriend to make it interesting and then she keeps updating her realationship and it annoys me that she keeps going on to update her status

[Ericphatter]

I really think you guys deserve to be the top Malaysian YouTubers. I understand the community sticks together but the stuff other YouTubers are pushing out are just not up to par with the stuff you guys make. Keep it going guys! Great Job

[justlkingaround]

You just have to keep some things to yourself. What's the point of having a relationship when all you think about, is what will others think about you. Are you in a relationship to impress others or because you love the person next to you ?
Impress your loved one and be happy.

[stanwong]

The moral of the story is never share too much about your personal life. Some things are meant to be kept to ourselves. Privacy is a serious matter.

[MissMouseMakes]

I think the strongest relationships are those not that you constantly see online. Great little film x

[raiderfrankdatank]

Never had those problems in the 80's 90's
