Digital creators Dom Brack, Blake Hooker and Hunter Rowland are set to star in Brilliance Productions’ coming-of-age mystery film “The Anchor In Us.” The film is currently in postproduction and will be introduced to buyers
at the American Film Market for the festival circuit in 2027.
The official logline reads: “A group of college friends reunite for a weekend at a sprawling Connecticut estate when the discovery of a dead body turns their getaway into a chilling unraveling of secrets, fractured friendships and buried resentments. As the story unfolds through flashbacks, the complex portrait of young adulthood emerges, revealing how ambition, insecurity and the desperate need for validation can push people to their breaking points.”
While the three leads haven’t had experience in feature films, they are used to being on screen. Brack is a social media personality with over 2 million subscribers on YouTube. Hooker has amassed 1.5 million followers posting skits on Instagram. Rowland is also an internet personality with 3 million followers on TikTok and 2 million followers on Instagram.
Damon McKinnis and Jake Steinberg round out the ensemble cast.
Directed by Adam G. Levine, the feature is produced by Ben Friedman and Jaycee Brill for Brilliance Productions and executive produced by Luke Taylor, Matthew Helderman, Adam Englehart and Luke Morton for Buffalo 8. The director of photography is Chase Shamlian, with editing by Krystoff Heller and music by Michael Drew.
“Working with these creators and seeing them come to life on camera in a scripted setting has been truly impressive,” Levine said. “They are multifaceted talents who write their own short-form skits, and watching them bring that brilliance to the big screen was amazing.”
Brack is represented by Advanced Management and Feig Finkel LLP, Hooker is represented by Crosscheck Studios, Rowland is represented by Simmons & Scott Entertainment and Steinberg is represented by CESD and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
