What is When the Ringlights Dim:
When a renowned Los Angeles influencer is kidnapped, her friends realize they’re on their own. With no clues or obvious suspects—and unable to turn to the authorities—a group of social media stars band together. Using the tools they know best—Instagram, TikTok, dating apps, and viral sleuthing—they race to uncover the truth and rescue their friend. But each post brings them deeper into danger, testing their loyalties and challenging their reality.
Written and directed by Wil Glavin, the film marks his feature debut, blending classic mystery elements with modern influencer culture.

Cast includes:
- Valentina Mami as Cassia

- Anuschka van Lent as Zari
- Angelica Jensen as JJ

“When I sat down to write When the Ringlights Dim, I wanted to merge classic thriller elements with today’s influencer-driven world,” said director Wil Glavin. “This film combines a modern mystery with today’s social media landscape—where everything’s a potential clue, and everyone is suspect.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated directly with Glavin Entertainment to acquire the rights.
