Maker Studios’ First Feature Production, The Satirical ‘Internet Famous,’ To Arrive June 21st

Having achieved success thanks to its network of popular social media stars, Maker Studios is now expanding into film, and the first feature-length offering it has produced is less than a month away from its arrival. Internet Famous, which stars Shane Dawson as one of five nominees at a fictitious “Web Star of the Year” ceremony, will be available June 21st on iTunes.

The stars of Internet Famous are all known for their digital work, but in the film, those creators will spoof themselves and their colleagues. In mockumentary fashion, Internet Famous sends up various web star archetypes, including the “one-hit wonder,” “the prankster,” and others. Beyond Dawson, other creators who appear in the film include Amanda Cerny, Christian DelGrosso, Steve Greene, and Richard Ryan.

In addition to announcing the release date for Internet Famous, Maker Studios also shared a trailer for the film. Between the mockumentary style and the quirky characters, there is definitely a bit of a Christopher Guest

vibe in play, albeit with a slightly sillier tone that will appear to the movie’s target audience.

Internet Famous is directed by Michael Gallagher (of Totally Sketch fame), written by Gallagher and Greene, and produced by Maker Studios and Lakeshore Entertainment‘s Off The Dock. It is one of several films Maker plans to roll out; as reported last fall, the digital network is also reportedly working with Dredd producer Adi Shankar on a trio of projects.

Fans who wish to pre-order Internet Famous can do so via iTunes. More details about the film are available through its official website.
