Why I chose Internet Predators as a focal point for my social realist trailer...

I feel that internet predators are an overlooked epidemic in our society. The internet is a free, easily accessible tool for anyone to meet anyone. In modern society, children are exposed and have access to the internet at a very young age. It is used frequently in schools and technology is a crucial part of completing homework.

However, I feel that (because I have seen things like this happen) many men and women abuse the safety of the internet as a tool to threaten the safety of others.

In 2011, I watched a film directed by David Schwimmer titled ''Trust''. In this film, Schwimmer effectively and poignantly highlights the issues of online chat-rooms. For me, the film sparked interest into the minds of the people that pursue children online and also how often this happens. In my film, I am attempting to convey that the internet can lead to the destruction of families and individuals.
