The Big Picture To those of a certain generation, the need for youth to be on, or to watch, TikTok viral videos borders on obsessive. It's not a fair statement, but it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true, either, as there are indeed people that try to succeed on social media platforms, hoping against hope that their content catches on and launches them into celebrity status.
In 2021, he launched 7M Films, and began recruiting a number of successful dancers from social media. The dancers he brought in lived together in a single house, creating content which was primarily focused on modern dance performed to old hits, some of which were specifically selected by Shinn himself.
And there's more. Several former 7M dancers claim Shinn took advantage of their vulnerability as newcomers hoping to make it big in LA, and once they were in, they would end up giving Shinn the majority of their income through tithes and fees, were expected to sign NDAs, and were subject to sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of Shinn.
Yet it's the tale of the Wilking sisters that initially brought attention to 7M and the Shekinah Church, and ultimately was the impetus for the documentary itself. The Wilkings were already a popular dance pair with a TikTok channel, one that had millions of followers. Then came April 2019, and a message to Miranda from another dancer, James "BDash" Derrick, that changed everything. Derrick's videographer, Isaiah Shinn , introduced the girls to Shekinah Church.
