Influencers jonesing for likes and spikes in the look-at-me economy of social media: This is the milieu of the caustic social satire about a young psychopathic rideshare driver trying to get his pathetic follower numbers up by starting a killing spree. Stranger Thingsstar Joe Keery plays Kurt a.k.a. KurtsWorld96 with manic and desperate force, forever trapped in a downward spiral of feedback loops, hashtags, and refollow campaigns, while Spree—filmed for the most part on GoPro and camera phone—ruthlessly deconstructs the social media world. A film du jour.

Eugene Kotlyarenko
(* 1986 in Odessa, USSR) is a writer/director based in Los Angeles. His debut film 0s & 1s (2011) was hailed as “the ultimate has-to-be-seen-more-than-once movie,” by The New York Times. His anti-rom-com, A Wonderful Cloud (2015), was called a “21st-century Annie Hall” by Variety. He has directed viral music videos and adventurous web series, most recently Feast of Burden, released by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
