A filmmaker on the edge of a breakdown kidnaps a famous social media influencer and forces her into the lead role of the movie she's desperate to make.
Patricia Abro has been pushed to the margins of an industry that never took her seriously, and the longer her dreams go unrecognized, the more her grip on reality begins to slip. Desperate to finally make her mark in Hollywood, she fixates on Ashley Ortiz — a magnetic online personality and aspiring actress whose star is rising fast. When Patricia crafts the perfect project for Ashley and is coldly turned away, obsession curdles into something far more dangerous.
Armed and unhinged, Patricia forces her way into Ashley's home and takes her captive, staging a twisted audition that no one can simply walk away from. What follows is a tense psychological standoff between creator and captive — a deadly game of manipulation, control, and unraveling egos that builds toward a shocking, blood-soaked finale.
Influence is a dark psychological thriller about obsession, power, and the dangerous lengths one woman will go to be seen.
Directed by Ryan Moore
Starring Cheyenne Perez, Grace Kaufman, Emily Hall, David Lengel, Hilty Bowen
On Digital SEPTEMBER 4 on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube Movies, and Cable On Demand.
Some stories demand to be told — even if you have to take a hostage to tell them.
