Are online relationships real relationships?

Interview with Catfish victim

Have you ever wondered if who you are talking to online is really who they say they are? You should. Thousands of people are regularly duped, often with devastating consequences — emotionally and sometimes financially.

Damn Bro! — VIFF 2017

This film is one of the International Shorts under the title Teen Years: Heaven and Hell, and boy is this one hell for…

Overlove — VIFF 2017
