"Harvesting Organs? Yeah, We Did That": Camila Mendes on How 'Riverdale' Prepared Her for Anything Filmmaking Could Throw at Her

The upcoming Masters of the Universe movie is consuming a significant amount of the spotlight, especially after its CinemaCon presentation, but Camila Mendes has another must-watch upcoming film, one that brought her back to SXSW for the second straight year. Idiotka is an indie satire that she not only stars in but also produced via her company, Honor Role. The film happens to be Nastasya Popov's feature directorial debut, and follows an aspiring designer named Margarita (Anna Baryshnikov), who enrolls in a reality TV show with the hopes of winning and using the prize to prevent her and her family from getting evicted. The film offers a critical look at artists' relationship with the media and the lengths they might go to exploit themselves in exchange for wealth and fame. It also features a star-studded ensemble with names like Saweetie and Julia Fox in the mix.
