Wassupkaylee
France, USA2025fiction19'Short Film Competition
First content, then lunch. Kaylee, a teenage prankster, ends up in a house of influencers, where pizza is reheated in the microwave for an impromptu lunch, spaghetti is used to play basketball and the most important thing is to get a sponsor to continue your stay. It is not easy for the girl to fit in with a group of TikTokers focused on producing content. She has no desire to return home either, as her mother will nag her about her online career. Unexpectedly, an opportunity for friendship presents itself. How far will Kaylee go to create the viral content she craves?
