A gamer gets scammed in the world of his online game.

Director Biography – Shubhi Sahni

760328ff28 headshot

Shubhi is a 23-year-old Indo-Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto. She recently wrote and directed her first short film as a 2019 Unsung Voices Fellow through the support of the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival. Shubhi earned her Honours Bachelor of Arts at the University of Toronto where she double-majored in English and Book & Media Studies.

Director Statement

Click Here To Play is inspired by a true story. At the beginning of 2019, my partner was scammed in a game he had been playing for five years and lost all of his online belongings. I didn’t understand what the loss meant to him at the time. However, he spent the next month talking about it and after one particularly emphatic speech, it hit me that there was a story to tell. I made this film because as a visible minority, I know what it means to have your experience misunderstood. Through making the film, I gained insight into the gaming community and the larger impact of his loss.
