Love Never Forgets. She Never Forgets.
The film opens with three boys tossing around a football. We meet Luke (Nicholas Zoto) and his friends Billy (Liam Barnett) and Dom (Michael Dostillio). The acting in this opening scene is not particularly good. But it's just a brief scene and the acting in the film does improve. After Luke takes a ribbing from his friends for his lack of skills of catching and throwing a football, his friends depart and Luke takes a seat on a swing where he meets Charlotte (Catherine Kustra). They talk briefly before Luke seems to feel a bit uncomfortable and excuses himself, to head home.
Luke tells his mother, Marie (Christine Parker) about his new friend, Charlotte. After he mentions her name and refers to her as Halloween Girl, his mother is visibly shaken. Marie later confides in her friend, Karen (Carol Anne Raffa), that Luke had a sister named Charlotte who was killed by a drunk driver, years ago. Marie says that she has been on her mind a lot lately and how odd it was that Luke just met a girl with the same name. Marie soon sees something shocking while driving and also receives a message.
Just who is Charlotte and is she really Luke's friend or does she have an ulterior motive? You will have to watch the film to find out.
"The Halloween Girl" was an interesting, 18 minute short film and I don't want to say too much, so I don't spoil anything. It does have a catchy song that pops up a few times throughout.

So, please consider one of those options and help support the independent film scene.
