Clout Chasers – Like, Follow and Love Me!
By Anna-Maija Heinonen and Krista Moisio
Production company: Polygraf
Gen Z has created a new set of rules on how to gain the approval of their peers. This need for approval has created a phenomenon and a subculture called clout or clout chasing.
Clout Chasers is a modern coming-of-age story that mixes observational material with social media content, produced by the main characters in the film.
