A little girl who is too often neglected by her family and turns to a friend she made online in a chat room. Do you know who your kids talk to online?

This movie is based on a short story which was based on real events.

This film was made for Project Direct for Sundance Film Festival 2009. Props used were red phone, basketball, headphones, VHS tape. The film was shot on my handheld camcorder the Panasonic SD9 and edited with Final Cut Pro.

Thanks to Leigh Sturgeon for letting me use the image of his movie "Weight" as well as saying to me 2 Wednesdays ago, hey let's make a movie this weekend" because if he hadn't said that, then I probably would have sat around watching football all weekend instead of making this movie!

Thank you to Todd for letting me "do it" with his wife in the back of a book store. Thanks to Mike Crawford for helping me with the opening titles and for putting me in his movie The Despair.

Thank you to Mike, Nasto, "Amazing" Sarah, Erica, John, Nick, Alexa, Carisa, Philly P & Sam, Tema, Todd, Leigh, Jason "my man in Tallahassee", and anyone else I may have forgotten to mention for your feedback and patience to watch the film over and over again. I hope everyone enjoys our little movie!

  • I LOVE Karmellas Game, I just bought the same camera, is it good?

  • Yeah, KG is awesome! Love those guys. The camera is great, I love it. If you watch my Romania stuff and also my Joker fan film, "The Hostage" on channel youtube/bmfcvp they were all also done with this camera. Trust me for some reason the conversion to You Tube did NOT do the image justice.

see all
