Under the Influence

Adam Vaugn (Jayden Marcos) and Camden Fenton (Ian Holms) are straight influencers who gain clout by pretending to be gay. Adam tells Camden that they've been found out and subsequently canceled. Andrew Miller, Brandon Anderson and Jayden Marcos are highschool friends who come together to hang out on a vacation.

Directed by Walden Woods, Under the Influence leans on a strong ensemble — Ian Holms, Jayden Marcos, Brandon Anderson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
