Acting Job in "The Influencer Trap" Vertical Series

Seeking actors for "The Influencer Trap" vertical series. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: LOGLINE When a broke home-health aide goes viral by accident, a powerful Atlanta influencer agency signs her and starts handing her opportunities — but every deal costs a piece of who she was, until the only thing left worth monetizing is the destruction of everyone who ever loved her. SYNOPSIS NIA CALLOWAY, 23, is a home-health aide in East Point carrying her mother’s mortgage and her sixteen-year-old brother’s future on a $17-an-hour check. She doesn’t post. She thinks influencers are a joke. One night, after a client’s family accuses her of stealing, she sits in her car and records ninety seconds of raw truth. By morning it has 4.1 million views. Within days APEX HOUSE comes calling — Atlanta’s most powerful creator agency, part talent management, part content factory, part gilded dormitory in a Buckhead mansion where twelve creators live, film and quietly compete for the same brands. Its founder, DEVRA KINGSLEY, was a creator herself until the internet dismantled her in nine days in 2016. Now she builds stars so she will never again be the one nobody is watching. She offers Nia everything. All Nia has to do is keep being real. The trap is that Apex sells authenticity by the pound. Every opportunity — a bank campaign, a supplement deal, a family series, a scripted romance, a podcast with her best friend SASHA — is genuinely good and genuinely poisonous at once, and each asks Nia to convert something private into something postable in increments small enough to justify. Beside her stands MARCUS ODUM, a woodworker-creator with his phone in a drawer by 6 p.m. — proof there is another way, and proof of what that way costs the people who need him. Season One runs from Nia’s first viral video to her first cancellation — and the sickening discovery that the crash is the most profitable content she has ever made. The platform is not the villain. The trade is. Additional info: Location: Fayetteville, Georgia (Atlanta area). Approximately 20 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. See more details attached.
