A story of six teenagers was told entirely through a limiting view of a laptop screen as six friends face bizarre outcomes from their pasts darkest secrets and lies. One night, the six friends, Ken (Jacob Wysocki), Adam (William Peltz), Jess (Renee Olstead), Val (Courtney Halverson), Mitch (Moses Storm), and the main character, Blaire (Shelley Hennig), are all on Skype as per their usual hangout. Conquicidently this night is an exact year after their so-called friend, Laura Barns (Heather Sossaman) committed suicide. Communicating to Blaire via facebook and skype, Laura’s ghost slowly turns all the friends against each other, unravels their deceptions, and creates fear that eventually leads to absurd murderous outcomes to all the teenagers.

Cristo Rey is a schooling system that underprivileged high school students attend, they work for businesses earning money and business skills for half of the week, and are in the classroom for the rest of the week. This trip has opened my eyes and showed me how easy volunteering can be. I only spent three weeks of my own time, but because of this, hundreds of underprivileged kids will get to live a better life and get the chance to succeed.
