In February, YouTube vlogger Casey Neistat announced that he would be releasing a documentary on fellow content creator David Dobrik. The same is set to release this month. The documentary is titled Under the Influence and is 100 minutes long. It is directed by Neistat with Mark Monroe as the screenwriter, executive producer, and actor.
Over the past year, David Dobrik has been at the center of several controversies on the video sharing platform. He was involved in his friend Jeff Wittek’s traumatic eye injury and a former Vlog Squad member was also embroiled in s*xual assault allegations. The documentary’s synopsis read:
“In the real world, these kinds of actions have life-changing consequences but in the gold rush ecosystem of social media influence, the audience decides who succeeds, and who gets banished forever.”
Though the documentary is being released this year, it has been in the making for years. David Dobrik and Casey Neistat were seen together in Slovakia in 2019, filming the early years of Dobrik’s life.
