Storyline
In this short drama, a heartbroken teenage girl, Hannah, spends the night moping in her room after an awful prom. She rejects her mother's attempts to comfort her, instead discovering that she can communicate with an alluring young man on TV - Harry - who's hiding sinister true intentions.
Harry attempts to manipulate Hannah while she opens up to him about her terrible evening. In the climactic moment where Harry tries to convince Hannah to enter his strange, mysterious TV-world, Hannah rejects him and has to fight to disable the TV while Harry resists and viciously insults her. In the end, Hannah realizes the importance of who you choose to trust and the danger of false appearances.

Description Hannah is an 18-year-old girl who arrives home after a terrible prom night - she caught her best friend flirting with her date! At least, that's how it looked to her. Unwilling to express her emotions to her mom, who she views as well-meaning but overbearing, and with nobody else to talk to, she sulks in her room all night alone. She eventually meets Harry, who calls out to her from her TV. Hannah confides in Harry about her evening after he presents himself as a sympathetic friend, but becomes suspicious of him later when he starts to push her into leaving her world behind to join him on the TV. Eventually, she decides not to listen to Harry and attempts to shut off her TV while Harry becomes increasingly aggressive.Hannah appears 16-20, with no other requirements for her appearance, actor must 18+. | ||
