While I was in New York, I saw the trailer of this short film by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson
around Influncers and how and why influence is created.Now here's the full short film. It's weird...
the topic seemed to be on everyones mind in NYC. I went to two creative conferences or mindsharings 
that dealt with the concept of influence and 'Influencers' and found it very interesting...how is influence 
created, by who and why by those people ? Even if I think that being an Influencer is nothing that you can
learn, become or plan it was quite interesting to think through the concept.

About "Influencers" :
“The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking
a statistical or metric approach…the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential'

Influencers:  Jeff Staple (Staple Design), Rob Stone (Cornerstone), Jon Cohen (Cornerstone),
Dao-Yi Chow (Public School NYC), Damon Crepin-Burr (FullSix NY), Josh Peskowitz (Fashion Editor),
Deirdre Maloney (BPMW), David Gensler (The KDU), Sky Gellatly (Team Epiphany)
 

Also interesting : Influencer10 Conference

I <3 that they used a track from 'Love Jones' in the film btw. It's called 'In a sentimental mood' , beautiful track.
That movie is haunting me. For real! New York I miss you.
