Anna Akana takes action in New Form Digital's 'Miss 2059'
LOS ANGELES -- YouTube star Anna Akana is in the middle of all the action in her new film Miss 2059.
The digital influencer, known for funny videos like "How To Put On Your Face," plays beauty queen Victoria Young, who is tired of living in the shadow of her world famous hero sister Arden (Nikki Soohoo).
But when Victoria is mistakenly (and mysteriously) beamed into space in place of her sister, she finds herself battling to protect Earth from facing certain destruction.
