For anyone interested in trends in creativity (which I’m guessing is all of you) this looks like a must see documentary. It’s called INFLUENCERS and explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends & creativity become contagious today in music and fashion. It’s about the people who are the early adopters and creators of trends – the boundary pushers. Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today’s pop culture. Among the influential figures they reference are Andy Warhol, Jay-Z, Karl Lagerfeld, Michel Basquiat, Malcolm Gladwell, Confucius… It looks like fascinating stuff so hopefully we’ll be seeing an Australian release.
