To celebrate the release of Infamous, the new thriller starring Bella Thorne and Jake Manley, we sat down with some of the cast and crew to chat about it.
Written and directed by Joshua Caldwell (Be Somebody), Infamous tells the story of a criminal couple from a small Florida town (Thorne and Manley), who after a series of armed robberies, become infamous social media stars. On the run from the authorities, they continue their notorious exploits across the Southland, increasing in both violence and disorder to pursue social media fame, no matter the cost.
Chatting to Manley, Caldwell, and cinematographer Eve Cohen, we chatted to them about the film’s riff on classics like Bonnie and Clyde, the dangers of social media, and whether the experience of the film has changed their opinions and approach to all things Insta-famous.

We live during a time where every single aspect of our daily existence can be documented on Social Media. There are celebrities who are only famous for being famous, or through being an “influencer” on sites like Instagram. Criminals are even caught because they brag about their crimes on Social Media. So, seeing a film like Infamous try and take that to its cinematic extreme, makes sense. Now, the flick itself is fairly mediocre, but the idea at its core is a solid one. With better execution, this could have been something. Instead, it’s just another forgettable effort that can’t live up to its initial promise. The movie is a crime tale, taking some of its cues from Bonnie and Clyde. Here, Arielle (Bella Thorne) is a resident of a small Florida town, yearning for more. She has a tough home life, vacuous friends, and a menial job at a diner.

F*ck Yes
Logline: “F*ck Yes” is a modern sex ed series focused on improving communication (and sex) between consenting adults.
Elevator Pitch:
If you’re like us, you feel like modern sex ed leaves a lot to be desired.

We released 4 episodes in the spring of 2016 (which was lauded by Bustle, Refinery29, and Mashable), and now we’re planning 10 more,...
