Leanne has adapted this to a feature script, where it’s the first of several interconnected stories set in Siem Reap, called AMOK. This feature script is already getting to quarter-finals, semis and finals of various screenplay competitions.

When a couple break up, a rash decision by ex-boyfriend Ben to post his frustration online leads to serious consequences for his ex-girlfriend Abby, both online and in real life.
