Unfollowed
Written by Jack Canfora
Directed by Cohen Jones
A group of high-profile social media stars—ranging from fitness bros and sock reviewers to a ruthless French fashionista and a wildly unhinged preschool streamer—are invited to a luxurious but mysterious island by a shadowy corporation to promote their newest product: the vaguely-defined, ominously named Megaburst!
As livestreams abound and egos clash, the influencers revel in their digital personas—until one of them turns up dead during a livestream. Suddenly, the wi-fi is cut, the staff vanishes, and suspicion runs as high as the filtered tension between ring lights and ring fingers.
As the influencers scramble to solve the murder of their most famous peer, their vapid personas crack to reveal insecurity, ambition, and unexpected insight. Trapped with no service (and therefore no audience), alliances fray and reputations teeter. It falls to the enigmatic Planet Kid—a Gen Alpha icon known for saying little more than “Skibidi”—to piece together the real story.
With absurd Gen Z slang, laugh-out-loud digs at influencer culture, and a corporate villain named Alan (or is it Stanley?), UNFOLLOWED is a hilarious murder mystery where the stakes are viral—and going offline might be the most dangerous thing of all.
