teenager

“Teenager” is a timely two-hander that dives into the digital noise of growing up in the age of influencers, outrage, and identity performance.

Jamie and Alex are two teens trying to figure out who they are—but the voices guiding them aren’t always their own. Alex is swept up in the rigid philosophies of an online men’s mentorship program promising strength, discipline, and dominance. Jamie, meanwhile, finds purpose in the crusade of a glamorous cosmetic influencer who champions cancel culture as activism. Both cling to these identities like lifelines—until they meet their heroes and discover the cracks beneath the surface.

What follows is a powerful unraveling. As their façades begin to crumble, Jamie and Alex confront the uncomfortable truth: they’ve been following blueprints that were never made for them.

A sharp, relevant, and compassionate exploration of identity, influence, and self-worth, Teenager is a story for anyone who’s ever felt lost in the algorithm.
