THAT’S A WRAP! We Complete Production on BBC Scotland Doc

‘TikTok Queen at 16’ Will Air on BBC Scotland and iPlayer This Summer

We have recently wrapped on ‘TikTok Queen at 16’ - an observational documentary commissioned by BBC Scotland which takes viewers behind the scenes of a critical period in the life of Kristen Scott, Scotland’s most followed teen TikTok star. 

We followed Kristen over the course of a few life-changing months as she left school at sixteen years old to focus on building her influencer brand. Aimed primarily at a youth audience, ‘TikTok Queen at 16’ shows Kristen turning sixteen, signing her school leavers certificate and building a career for herself as a full-time social media star.

The documentary also explores Kristen’s close relationship with her mum, Elizabeth. We see Elizabeth trying to find a balance between protecting her daughter and supporting her while not getting pigeon-holed as a ‘momager’. Elizabeth offers an alternative perspective on the impact of having a social media star in the family.

Penny Cobham, who produced the programme, had this to say; “Over the course of production, [Director DoP] Graham and I immersed ourselves in the world of TikTok and online influencers. It was an incredible experience to see young people build businesses and careers out of their online presence. I hope the audience looks at these young entrepreneurs with a new sense of respect. I'm really looking forward to following Kristen's career and seeing what she does next.”
