We have added a few screencaps of Ella in her 2015 film Cyberbully. If you haven’t yet seen the film, you can watch it here on 4OD.
Ella Purnell has joined the cast for Cyber Bully, a Channel 4 docu-drama about a teenage girl facing an anonymous online stalker and dealing with peer-to-peer bullying and advanced computer hacking, and eventually fighting back.
Cyber Bully, due to be broadcast in early 2015, takes place in a single location and also stars Maisie Williams and Jake Davies.
It will be presented in the form of a real-time thriller, directed by Ben Chanan, who was also responsible for Channel 4 drama-doc Blackout, which imagined the catastrophic aftermath of the collapse of the UK’s electricity supply.
Channel 4’s head of documentaries, Nick Mirsky, said: “It is one of the most important purposes of Channel 4 to find new ways of engaging young audiences with the cyber world and the stories that play out on the internet. This film does exactly that in a way that is gripping, relevant and fiercely public service.”
