Christian Zyp interviews Kurtis David Harder (dir/prod/co-writer) and Cassandra Naude (actor) about the film INFLUENCER. This horror/thriller screens as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival on Apr 28th where Harder & Naude will be in attendance for a Q&A following the screening.

INFLUENCER revolves around a social media influencer Madison (Emily Tennant) having a lonely and uneventful trip in Thailand despite what she tells her followers on Instagram. While reflecting on her boyfriend not being on  the trip, she meets CW (Cassandra Naud), a fearless and enigmatic traveler who offers to take her to some of the most Instagram-worthy locations. Together, they share authentic meals and drinks with locals, discussing the differences between Madison’s online presence and CW’s lack of one. After showing Madison all the amazing sights, things take a different turn when CW brings her to a surprise location – a deserted island that is completely off the grid.
