The avant-garde has moved online, and they have an agenda.

Coming from deep within computer programming culture, internet trolls are ticked off and using the click-bait obsessed mass media to propel their movement into the mainstream. Influencing presidential elections, manipulating journalists, inventing meme culture, trolls are either our saviors or driving our culture off of a cliff.

“Trolls Inc.,” released on May 22 via Google Play, Vimeo, Amazon and iTunes, follows the world’s most famous Internet troll, Andrew Auernheimer, and his legion of cultural saboteurs as they attempt to overthrow civilization one meme at a time.

The documentary is directed by Bainbridge’s own George Russell, who grew up on the island and graduated from Bainbridge High (Class of ’98). He went to the Cecil B. DeMille School of Film and Television at Chapman University in California, graduating in 2000. After college, he began his career in the movie and TV business as a cameraman, director and producer.
