The Girls Are Alright BY Gwai Lou
Contest Name: The Phone Call Submission Date :08-10-2018, Uploaded By : Gwai Lou
Directed By :  Gwai Lou (David Yanez), filmmaker,,
Inspiration: Synopsis: Orked and Ani, best friends since they started school, don´t meet so often since Orked´s family have moved and she now studies in another school. Nevertheless, they still remain best friends, so when Ani receives a strange proposition through a dating app she has just registered with, Orked is the first person Ani talks to. This is a story about the dangers of being a teenager in these strange internet-bombarded days, but despite that, our children´s guardian angel can come in many forms, which could sometimes be their closest friend.

I like the dialogue, but too much cursing for the kind of girls that they are students and not street girls.
