No, that title isn’t my wish for TikTok before it gets banned in the US, but the title of the upcoming film, 1 Million Followers, which asks the question what would you do for that number. I can say with my full chest – not that.
Karissa, an 18-year-old from a small farm in Idaho, gets invited to Thailand by mega influencer Jack Mayer, for a chance at a lucrative sponsorship. She quickly befriends other influencers and enters a competition to win a $500,000 sponsorship from Vrap Vodka. Emboldened by the chance to save her family farm, Karissa pushes herself to get more followers by posting more daring photos on the beach and at the clubs. But her success is threatened when she and the others are kidnapped as part of a larger conspiracy they never saw coming.
It’s actually a bit sad, because since I am one of the olds I can totally see people actually doing these activities in their quest to be an influencer.
1 Million Followers is in select theaters and On Demand October 25, 2024.
