Last Wednesday, I took the F train downtown to see the third iteration of DENNIS, written by Aidan La Poche. Currently circulating like gossip through every Paloma Wool–clad Lower East Side Gen Z’er, it not only takes on the topic of AI, but also explores therapy culture, brain rot, and the particular seduction of being understood by something that isn’t human.
It’s no secret that as time goes on, everything about our lives becomes more digital. Social media has been ablaze with opportunity since its origin, but its latest years have truly defined the world around us. As brands recognize the power of social and Gen-Z voices alike, it’s become more and more prevalent just how much weight these voices carry.
The Boys are back in town. I’ll bet 90% of the journalists who attended this event started with that exact line.
Sarah Kambe Holland, 25-year-old Gen Z filmmaker, discusses the first feature film to be crowdfunded on TikTok, EGGHEAD & TWINKIE, a coming-of-age story about an Asian-American teenager who comes out to her parents and goes on a road trip to meet her online crush with her nerdy best friend.
