When I talk toTikTok starSabrina Brier in person, I quickly learn there are two people to meet.
The first is the characterSabrina.
This Sabrina is silly and effusive and a tad bit privileged.
Lara Callahan
She can put her foot in her mouth, but shes well-intentioned.
Sabrina, the character, is also popular.
Ive never been the kind of person who was tweeting a lot of my real thoughts.
I have too many thoughts and too many feelings.
Thats just where Ive always existed.
The real Sabrina Brier, I come to learn, is thinking 10 steps ahead.
And though she respects the career, she would never call herself an influencer.
I look at TikTok as something Im so grateful for, she says.
I cant believe how much its brought me.
She wants to take Sabrinathe character, but also herselfto Hollywood.
Being a showrunner and a star of a show has been such a North Star for me since college.
She got many of them on board, she says, by getting to know them through social media.
Being on the internet really teaches you how much more accessible people are than you think, she says.
Im like, Hey guys, so actually Im going to pay for this dinner.
Can we just step outside?
Im just so guilty, so frantic.
Im constantly asking, Can you film me really quick?
And theyre like, Okay.
I think thats really created the realism in the whole process.
Brier isnt capturing these moments purely to go viral or reach her goals.
I would want things to feel a little bit more grounded.
I want to have a character who is paying off student loans.
Thats what the vision is for me.
