Charli D'Amelio is flexing her acting chops.
A few days shy of her 18th birthday, the TikTok star has been announced as the lead for Home School, a film that will be produced by Ryan Kavanaugh's Proxima Media and financed through the film exec's Entertainment Stock Exchange.
Home School is a thriller that stars the younger D'Amelio sister as a teenager who encounters supernatural happenings after moving to a new town. Kavanaugh told Deadline that the film is trying to be "The Sixth Sense meets Get Out." Should Home School succeed in that goal, it could be developed into a franchise with up to eight distinct thrillers starring D'Amelio.
D'Amelio's foray into acting has a lot in common with Skill House, which features Sway LA co-founder Bryce Hall. Both movies are led by TikTok stars, both are produced by Kavanaugh, and both feature directors who have experience with popular horror franchises.
