Short Film
Sweet Candy
When the next big viral hit wears off, can a concerned few help save him, so he can live to tell his story another day?
“You’re listening now, aren’t you,” says a cold and nearly unconscious Andreas Wagner, over his live broadcast. Isolated and full of desperation, he’s decided to air his last words, together with some extremely valid grievances. His views strike a chord with some while attracting the wrath and disdain of others, yet one fact is undeniable: he has become an unlikely internet phenomenon when it least matters.
