Exclusive: Wayfarer Studios has announced its acquisition of The Algorithm, a narrative feature from Nenad Cicin-Sain (The Time Being) exploring how social media platforms dealt with the attack on the U.S. Capitol, which took place on January 6th, 2021.
The film will look to explore what happened during and in the aftermath of the event, when the platforms went into crisis mode, ultimately resulting in the permanent ban of then-u.S. President Donald Trump from several major social networks. It will cover what transpired behind the scenes during this historic moment, who ultimately made the unprecedented decision to ban Trump, and how the decision-making process unfolded, also questioning whether social media platforms have a position as arbiters of free speech.
Cicin-Sain is attached to pen the feature, from his own treatment. Angela Cardon will develop the project on behalf of Wayfarer Studios, which will serve as its financier, with Justin Baldoni,...

Many modern independent web series creators turn to platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to raise thousands of dollars to fund their production. These People, however, shows that a high-quality web series can be made on a tight budget. The first season of director Jamie Heinrich and writer Zac Hug’s family web series was made for under $500, but despite its price tag, it is a polished dramedy.
Hug stars as Todd, an exasperated man who must deal with his crazy family and a cast of oddball characters as he looks to take care of his younger brother, who is in a poor mental state--or at least appears to be that way. Along the way, Todd becomes increasingly frustrated, and his relationship with his boyfriend suffers as well.
These People isn’t the funniest web series, nor is it the most insightful, but it has a nice combination of stakes and laughs,...
