Jacob Chase’s directorial debut feature COME PLAY tells the story of Oliver (Azhy Robertson), a solitary autistic boy, who spends his time immersed on his Smart Phone and tablet. Lonely, and often bullied at school, Oliver really wants a friend. But his isolation only intensifies when his parents separate and he retreats even further into his screens.
When a children’s storybook called “Misunderstood Monsters” mysteriously shows up on his phone, Oliver begins reading it, discovering the story of a lonely creature named Larry. Oliver quickly realizes that the more he reads, the more Larry comes into the real world.
