trapped

film synopsis

Trapped is an award-winning short film directed, edited and written by Olivia Minn, recipient of a Gold Key in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her memoir and an Honorable Mention for this film.

The film provides a deeply personal portrait of what it feels like to grow up in a world that is always connected — and yet often emotionally distant.
