'Parents of Australia! Are you sick of your kids being glued to their phones? Do you wish they could leave their devices behind forever? Well, you just may need to sign them up for Camp Reboot…

'Reboot follows a group of young campers as they journey through Camp Reboot, a special new Summer Camp designed to detox kids from all forms of technology. However, things are not quite as they seem, as the campers discover a secret that could change their lives forever.

'Reboot is a comedic thriller that tests the limits of a life without technology. It is a satire on our attachment to our screens but also a probing look into who really pulls the strings.'  (Production summary)
1 Two TwentySomethings Decide Never to be Stressed about Anything Ever Again. Ever Michael Costi , 2021 single work drama

'I’m stressed. I’m worried.
I don’t know how tax works.
I know it’s a thing that happens but I’ve got no idea.
Sometimes I go to T2 and talk to the staff just so I know what it feels like to be loved.

'A young couple are worried about, well, everything. From student debt to hand hygiene, the resurgence of ISIS to whatever the hell edamame is. After a ruined dinner, they write a list of everything that troubles them. A deal is made: they will never be stressed about anything, ever again. Ever.'
