Rain Catcher (UK)
SYNOPSIS: In a rainy, nocturnal London, underground photographer Miles obsessively captures unfor- giving, morbid portraits of unaware strangers. When he’s not selling them, he shares them anonymously online as “Rain Catcher.” But soon he notices something unsettling in his photos: a mysterious woman watching him and photographing him—turning the lens back on Miles. As her gaze closes in, his world fractures—his work is sabotaged, his name defamed, his loved ones endangered. Consumed by paranoia, he spirals into a dark, delirious obsession to uncover the truth behind her motives.
