The opening credits of Ilyssa Goodman’s “Next Level” are, perhaps, the most interesting thing about it. They begin with the credit for the producer — and when was the last time you saw that in a theater? — and then work their way backwards to the cast, crew and director, as if to say that the fact that this movie got made is, itself, the most noteworthy accomplishment of all.
“Next Level” is a song-and-dance drama about a summer camp for teen enthusiasts of this business we call show. The audience is informed, in no uncertain terms, in the movie’s second scene, that this is one of the most prestigious organizations of its kind in the country. But we are informed in literally every other scene that the organization employs only two people and is taking up space in a disused corner of a community-college campus.

Famous Birthdays wants to be more than just the Wikipedia for the young social media set -- an online database comprising birthdays and interesting factoids about the world’s buzziest influencers.
Today, the company launched a video platform that has been in the works since the beginning of the year. Founder Evan Britton tells Tubefilter that Famous Birthdays’ video efforts will function with the same philosophy as its flagship site: users will determine which celebrities are trending via searches and on-site voting (known as ‘boosting’), and the company will create videos with top-trending personalities. The clips -- all unscripted -- will fall into five categories: Q&As, games and challenges, event coverage, performances, and birthday-themed content.
Given that Famous Birthdays’ audience tends to skew toward Gen Z, Britton says that it has invited several tween influencers to its Santa Monica offices over the past few months to shoot original content.
