Can You See Me - Love Story

Can You See Me - Love Story (Short Film) 

Nominated Best Direction Kinsale Sharks

When Nelson, a young insular boy strikes up an online conversation with Sam, a young girl who messages him whilst playing computer games, an online infatuation begins. In a world where Nelson is failing at social interaction and academically, she is his salvation. As the frequency and emotional intensity of their messages escalate, Nelson becomes further isolated at home and school and falls deeper under the control of Sam. He will seemingly do anything for her - but will her requests make him more of an outcast than in the first place?

With scripts based on actual cases, Can You See Me: Love Story is one of two short films spearheading a campaign across Heathrow Airport for A21 a for purpose organisation, bringing awareness to issues of human trafficking and child exploitation.
