Trust Me is a short film developed for the Calgary-based “Cops 4 Kids” program. The film was the second collaboration I did with Perfect Pictures production company.
At the time, Cops 4 Kids was addressing the problem of shoplifting among teens, especially girls, which had a high correlation with drug use later in life. C4K commissioned the short film for presentations in junior and high schools across Alberta and B.C.
The story follows a young man and his girlfriend who get pulled into a drug deal that results in her going to jail and the boyfriend dying. It showed how seemingly small, negative choices could have disastrous results.
