can you see me - love story

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?

This is one of two short films commissioned for the ongoing Can You See Me Campaign produced by the anti slavery charity A21.

The scripts are based off actual cases that occurred in the UK. The films are primarily used as education tools by the police and by various youth services in schools and charities. 60sec cuts of the films and a poster campaign have been utilised at Heathrow airport with a version of the film being played in Dallas Airport and 77 cities around the US.
