Deinfluencer sees cheerleader Kelly abducted by a fearsome masked fiend and forced to complete a series of increasingly violent tasks on social media to win her freedom and save not only her own life – but also the lives of others held captive, including Sabrina (Caylin Turner).

Black Mandala has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film called Deinfluencer, yet another freaky film in the growing "social media horror" subgenre.

Chicago – Ethereal Canadian writer/director Jude Klassen is back with her second film – after “Love in the Sixth” – a combination of relationship angst and music passion, “Stupid For You.” The film has been launched into the fest circuit, and premiered at Montreal’s Image+ Nation Film Festival in November 2021.

“Stupid for You” is a musical with a deeply layered emotional resonance. Mikhael Klassen-Kay is Kat, who makes music with their best friend Stevie (Mia Rodne). When Kat’s greatest crush Eden (Caylin Turner) has a desire for a 1990s punk rock band, Polyamorous Diatribe, to re-form and play at a big high school dance, Kat has an advantage because their mother Dani was the lead singer. As Kat negotiates their first gay/fluid love relationship, Dani is also putting her toe into the romantic waters again with a man named Magnus (Matt Clark).
