In present society, there is a plethora of individuals who would rather duplicate the persona & style of others versus developing their own...which is pathetic to say the least, but I believe that is also the differential between the two. Influencers do not set out to acquire such a position, they are just naturally born into it. Yet with the influenced, they dance into their position by believing they are being an influencer even though they are imitating someone else. I know, crazy shit right? R+I Creative did an amazing job at highlighting the definitions of a true influencer with this documentary. They focused on influential creatives who are elevating our culture right now & I absolutely loved it. However, I would love to see this be extended to include various demographics around the world, since this doc was only focused on NYC.
