Directed by Deric Nunez
A girl is surfing the Internet, unaware that what she clicks on can bring serious consequences, not only for her computer but also for herself.

The scouts
A 4-minute literalization of internet dread that treats clickbait as actual physical consequence—it's the kind of absurdist premise that shouldn't work but does, and it's precisely the weird specificity most scouts would reflexively pass on.
The conceit is clever, but the execution feels more YouTube horror than festival rigor; without the formal precision or tonal sophistication that would elevate this beyond its gimmick, it lands closer to concept than craft.
The payoff hinges entirely on how Nunez visualizes the boundary between digital and physical—if there's a single moment where the metaphor breaks through the screen literally, that could be the decision that makes this sing, but the runtime barely gives it room to breathe.
