Dom Brack, Blake Hooker and Hunter Rowland Set to Star in Mystery "The Anchor In Us"
Three young online personalities are set to star in a new film. Dom Brack, Blake Hooker and Hunter Rowland will lead The Anchor In Us, a coming-of-age mystery, Variety reported on Monday 9 November 2026.
The film comes from Brilliance Productions and is now in postproduction, the stage where editing, sound and music are finished after shooting has ended. Damon McKinnis and Jake Steinberg complete the main cast.
Adam G. Levine directed the film, and it is his first feature. He is a 2025 graduate of the Toronto Film School's writing for film and television program, and the school's blog said on 23 October 2026 that he had wrapped shooting. He was 26 during production.
Ben Friedman and Jaycee Brill produced the film for Brilliance Productions. Luke Taylor, Matthew Helderman, Adam Englehart and Luke Morton are executive producers for Buffalo 8. Chase Shamlian served as director of photography, Krystoff Heller edited the picture, and Michael Drew wrote the music.
The casting has a strong online angle. Brack has more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube. Hooker has 1.5 million followers on Instagram. Rowland has 3 million followers on TikTok and 2 million on Instagram. Those audiences are the kind of reach that studios and sales agents often weigh when they plan how a film will be promoted.
The next stop for the film is a marketplace. It will be introduced to buyers at the American Film Market, the yearly event where distributors buy and sell films before they reach cinemas or streaming services. The film is also aimed at the festival circuit in 2027, the run of film festivals where new movies are shown to critics and audiences ahead of release.
Who hires a cast, and when a film reaches buyers, shapes how soon audiences can see it. For now, the announcement sets the names and the timetable: a finished-soon film, a sales launch at the American Film Market, and a festival run next year.
