Michele Fiascaris's directorial debut, 'Rain Catcher,' follows Miles, a street photographer operating under the pseudonym 'Rain Catcher' with a million Instagram followers, who builds his reputation by photographing unsuspecting subjects without their consent or knowledge. Set primarily in London's brutalist Barbican Estate, the film examines the consequences of surveillance-driven content creation and how social media enables increasingly dehumanizing behaviour toward ordinary people captured in public spaces.

Miles's carefully constructed online identity unravels when his voyeuristic photography triggers a chain of events: his involvement in a failed tabloid sting operation damages his relationship with his singer-songwriter girlfriend, and a mysterious woman begins appearing in his photographs. As someone launches a coordinated campaign to expose his real identity through an Instagram hack and leaflets accusing him of predatory behaviour, Miles finds himself drawn into a mystery that forces him to confront the ethical violations underlying his artistic practice.
