CONSUMED is a new original dark comedy that takes a razor-sharp look at our obsession with influencers, consumerism, and the hidden cost of turning people into commodities.
Inspired by the astonishing true story of a man who ate an entire aeroplane, CONSUMED is a story of a young aspiring content creator who pushes their body and sanity to the limit as the world watches, clicks, and demands more.
As they resort to stranger and stranger ideas to entertain the masses and break through online, a dare at a party takes an unexpected turn and leads to the discovery that they actually do have one very unique “talent”...the ability to eat the inedible.
Fuelled by companies and brands looking for new ways to advertise and sell their products, they soon realise that all that glitters is not gold. The online audience's insatiable appetite to watch them eat starts to consume the kid, and the demands of sponsors, media obligations and physical pain takes its toll.
Influencer culture has radically changed the way we think about celebrity and entertainment. In order to stand out and attain fame, people are resorting to more and more extreme acts, often at the expense of their dignity, privacy and even their health.
