Logline

In a near-future dominated by VR intimacy, a lonely man's attempt to save his long-distance relationship with a high-tech device spirals into absurd and horrifying chaos when hackers seize control, forcing him to confront unspeakable scenarios in a desperate bid to regain his life.

About the Project

A sci-fi horror comedy about control, shame, and the devices we trust. The spark for Crak Hack came from a junk email. One of those absurd warnings: "We've been spying on you." It's funny at first - then it gets under your skin. What if someone really did hijack your devices? What if your most private moments became public? The film became a satire of modern fear: losing control of our privacy, our devices, and ourselves. The humor cuts through the dread - technology as a weapon, shame as leverage, and the question of whether we can laugh at the things that terrify us. The threats are real. Sextortion scams, spyware, and connected devices that can be hijacked without consent. These aren't hypotheticals - they're happening now. Crak Hack is a warning, but it's also a release valve. Sometimes the only way to survive the panic is to laugh at it.
