Elle Mills’ summertime short film ‘Reply’ picked up by Creator+

Elle Mills‘ first short film has been picked up by content creator-focused studio/distribution platform Creator+.

Mills—a longtime YouTuber with 1.75 million subscribers—raised almost $24,000 on IndieGoGo to produce Reply, which she describes as “Ferris Bueller + Parent Trap + 13 Going on 30 + Wes Anderson but gay?”

The short film follows 15-year-old Sam (Anthony Rosenthal), who finds a box of tapes documenting his mother Casey’s (Ciara Riley Wilson) last summer at her childhood home—which was also the summer an intriguing new neighbor Hayden (Ava Capri) moved in next door.

“‘Reply‘ was very much a passion project—it’s a love letter to my high school self and the film I wish I had growing up,” Mills said in a statement. “Getting to work with Creator+ to finally release this into the world has been a dream come true experience.”

Per Variety, Reply will debut exclusively on Creator+ Nov. 10. It’ll cost $3 to rent it for three days, and at checkout, buyers will be asked if they want to donate $1 to the Trevor Project. Rentals also come with original behind-the-scenes video content from Mills and Reply’s cast.

Creator+ was founded last year by YouTube and Crackle veterans, and thus far has raised $12 million in funding from investors including YouTubers Jake Roper and Wendy Ayche (aka Wengie). It’s produced other projects since launch, but Reply is the first film it’s acquired.
