Pulling Away

A young Japanese girl lives a reclusive life indoors as a Hikikomori, using video games as her only means of escape into the outside world. But when her longing for a boy living in the same building as her grows in intensity - will she be brave enough to leave her securities behind and step into the real world? Shot, edited and completed within just 100 hours and with a budget of only 100 pounds, this is part of the '1st Person' Short Film Challenge established by award-winning director Al White.
