Global Gridlock (Film, Book, Soundtrack)

A SMS Novel Films Original | Created with HAX AI

In a world where digital borders are becoming as rigid as physical ones, Global Gridlock follows the high-friction domestic life of an unlikely pair trying to navigate a fractured reality.

Susan is a sharp, tech-savvy executive at the forefront of the AI revolution. John is a weary, old-school skeptic and Wash Post reporter who has seen too many "solutions" create new problems. As the nation grapples with the fallout of the 2026 State of the Union and the growing divide over AI governance, their living room becomes the ultimate battlefield for the soul of the country.

When a controversial decision by a major tech platform sparks a nationwide boycott, their conflicting ideologies collide in a series of sharp, witty, and deeply human confrontations. From the dinner table to the digital cloud, Global Gridlock explores whether two people can stay connected when the world around them is being systematically torn apart.

It’s a comedy-drama for a polarized age—challenging the audience to look past the screen and face the person sitting right next to them.
