CAN I HELP? - THE FEATURE
CAN I HELP? is an elevated genre film – a sci-fi human drama with a recovery story at its core – based on a highly successful proof of concept short, exploring themes of mental health, fatherhood and our relationship with technology.
The film is set in the near future and centres on a highly successful, creative and overworked architect (Daniel), who is fighting to save himself from severe depression, after the breakup of his family, with the help of his trusty, affable AI (Walter).
The feature-length version – written and to be directed by Rupert Ratcliffe with Nicholas Pinnock returning to play Daniel – broadens out the world and delves into the main characters, the source of the protagonist’s depression and the root cause of his negative behavioural patterns.
