The 2019 short film by writer/director Zach Braff casts Florence Pugh as a social media influencer in the 18th Century. The short milks the concept for all the humor it can over 11 minutes exploring what the concept might look like in a different type period. Pugh is having fun here as is Alicia Silverstone cast in the working mother role pushing her daughter in hocking various products to keep up their lifestyle. While the concept can’t quite cover all the bases in terms of how this would ultimately be profitable, the staging, costuming, lighting, and framing of each scene help hide some of its rougher edges.
