Ahead of The Influencer's release to digital services and VOD on September 14th from Breaking Glass Pictures, we have an exclusive look at the film just for Daily Dead readers!

"The Influencer is way more relevant now than when I wrote it three years ago, it reflects real life in ways I didn't expect", said Weinstein. "Watching how internet virality has led to such a dramatic spike in consumerism and waste with fast-fashion, or an obsession with how we appear online, it warps reality and values for so many people in an effort to distract us from the bigger issues going on in the world."
