VANITY FAIR (REMAKE) | FINAL PROJECT VIDEO | GROUP 7-SHIFT 1 | ENGLISH LITERATURE

A modern adaptation of Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray.

In a world where popularity is currency and attention is power, how far would you go to become someone worth admiring?

Meet Becky Sharp, an ambitious young woman determined to climb the social ladder in the glamorous yet ruthless world of influencers, social media, and online fame. Through beauty contests, strategic relationships, livestream promotions, and carefully crafted personal branding, Becky learns how to turn attention into opportunity.

But behind the perfect image lies a series of questionable choices. As ambition takes over, she must face the consequences of sacrificing trust and integrity for success. Yet, in a world obsessed with fame, even a scandal can become another opportunity for reinvention.

Inspired by Thackeray’s timeless satire of vanity, hypocrisy, and social ambition, this short film reimagines the original story through the lens of contemporary influencer culture and consumerism.

Because being admired is not the same as being worthy of admiration.
