In order to save the life of her sister, a vlogger, Kaz, must uncover the identity of a cyberstalker as he exposes her secrets to her growing online community.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Kaz, a vlogger with a growing online community, is back home from a date that ended in heartbreak. To keep her spirits up, she does a live stream on her channel where she regularly shares tips on makeup, fashion and beauty.  During the stream, Kaz gets a message from a man calling himself “Viewer.” He claims to be outside her sister’s house and will break-in and murder her if Kaz doesn’t do as he tells her. As Kaz tries to figure out Viewer’s identity, she’s forced to answer questions about her past and unveil personal secrets. Soon, it is a race against time for Kaz and the authorities to stop the cyberstalker.

MEET THE CREW

KAZ

Kaz has a girl next door look, but that is often covered in layers of makeup whenever she does her videos. But her real-life persona is very different from the one she has conjured online. Most of the time, she is lonely and insecure about her own skin and suffers periods of social anxiety. The titular character is played by Sharon Mwangi, an actress and content creator. She has been on Sue na Johnnie, Mafundi and Njoro wa Uba.
