A love letter to our generation, this side-splitting comedy covers the making of The National Influencer's Fifth Anniversary issue - and the big cover shoot is just four weeks away.
The film takes you inside the lives of the Influencer stars of the issue in the four weeks leading up to the big photo-shoot; a Meme God at his peak, a Snapchat teeny-bopper addicted to stunts, a food Youtuber who will put an egg on just about anything if it means engagements, an eccentric fashion blogger willing to go to drastic lengths for a perfect #nofilter shot, and a Facebook vlogger obsessed with dressing animals up in costumes.
What's the one thing they all have in common? Social media anxiety disorder.
All goes awry when Dan Summers - the Snapchat celebrity with the largest following - disappears after having a social media induced breakdown, forcing all to face the question of why we are all so consumed with social media. Are we humans or handles?
