“What do you mean, like, everything?” Would you freak out if your entire internet history and data archives were leaked online? How bad would it be? This very awkward, very dark comedy short called See Saw is about that happening. See Saw is an 11-minute short film written and directed by filmmaker Matt Porter. He’s made tons of other shorts and a feature before this, but cooked up this one to make everyone feel extra paranoid about their online presence and potential hacks / leaks. Lock down all your data, folks! And make sure if it ever does leak, your life isn’t ruined. Though perhaps it’s inevitable nowadays? This stars David Brown as Glenn Harriston and Sierra Katow as his girlfriend. Matt reminds everyone: “put a post-it over your webcam and enjoy!” Is it wrong if I wanted to see exactly what from all his data was going viral? Ha ha.
Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this short debuting online. Here’s the very brief intro to the film from YouTube: “Glenn wakes up to discover that his personal data has been leaked and is spreading virally all over the world.” See Saw is a short film written and directed by actor / filmmaker Matt Porter – you can view more of his short film creations on his official website or follow him on IG @mrmattporter or also on Twitter @I_am_MattPorter.
