Charli D’amelio, who is known for (The D’Amelio Show) will star in the supernatural thriller “Home School“, directed by F. Javier Gutiérrez for Ryan Kavanaugh’s Proxima Media. D’Amelio will play the role of Mira, a 17-year-old who moves to a different town to live with her aunt after her mother passes away. After arriving in what seems like the all-too-perfect town, Mira soon discovers that her mother’s death and her own future are intertwined supernaturally.

In a statement, D’Amelio said “As soon as I read Home School, I knew it was for me. I connected with the character, Mira, the story, the script, and the team. I knew if I was going to do a movie, it needed to be something fun, edgy, and fresh,” she added “While the role will certainly be challenging and push me to learn to act and become Mira, it’s a fun ride and meant to be fun to make and fun to watch. I also wanted to make sure I surrounded myself with a great team.”
