HURTCORE (short film)

We are Jeff Paquet & Lucas Thompson; filmmakers and co-creators of the short film, HURTCORE. 

Our goal is to start funding private screenings for our short as a way to spread awareness for child abuse, sex trafficking, and torture pornography on the dark web.  Our screenings will include Q&A sessions, as well as spoken presentations by abuse survivors and advocates for the Child Lives Matter movement.

Funds will be used to finance multiple private screenings at such venues as AMC in Orange County and Ventura, as well as private theaters in Hollywood and Los Angeles.  We'd like to receive the funds before the end of November 2020, as we will be releasing our short film on iTunes Movies around the same time.

HURTCORE is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a predator family abducting a troubled teen in her unstable environment. The term “hurtcore” refers to an extreme form of pornography, usually involving degrading violence and child sexual abuse. Pedophiles and torture porn enthusiasts can pay up to $10,000 per video or photo content and according to NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children), in 2019 alone, the CyberTipline reports included 69.1 million images, videos and other files related to child sexual exploitation. The average age of child sex trafficking victims reported missing is only 15 years old.

Our short film focuses on this horrifying subject matter through the eyes of two different families. After researching the dark web, plus reading various reports of missing and/or abducted children, we as filmmakers, felt compelled to tell an original story that gets to the heart of why these tragedies take place. It starts with the family. We need to make our children feel safe and adults aware. Join the fight for a brighter future!!!
