20-Year-Old Gen Z Director Leverages YouTube as Film School for Debut Feature

Noah Caplan, a 20-year-old Gen Z director, is set to shoot his first feature film, 'Impressionable,' which tackles issues of toxic masculinity and the influence of hyper-masculine figures like Andrew Tate. Caplan, who learned filmmaking through YouTube, aims to create socially impactful films for his generation. His previous work, 'Stepping Stone,' focused on suicide awareness and featured actor Danny Dyer. Caplan advocates for the film industry to take risks on young filmmakers to better connect with Gen Z audiences.
