“Lily Topples the World follows 20-year-old sensation Lily Hevesh – the world’s most acclaimed domino toppler and the only girl in her field – as she rises as an artist, role model, and young woman,” says the official synopsis. “Filmed for over 3 years across countless cities and featuring appearances by Jimmy Fallon, Katy Perry, Will Smith, YouTuber Casey Neistat, and a steady stream of Gen-Z creators, [the film] is a coming-of-age story cloaked within a unique portrait of an artist, a story of how passion and artistry can make dreams come true, and an unlikely American tale of a quiet Chinese adoptee who transforms into a global artistic force with over 1 billion YouTube views. From director Jeremy Workman (The World Before Your Feet) and from executive producer Kelly Marie Tran (Raya and the Last Dragon), in her first film in a producing role.”

Director Jeremy Workman previously put out 2018’s The World Before Your Feet, which featured Matt Green’s mission to walk every street of New York City, and IFC Films’ Magical Universe, which chronicles outsider artist Al Carbee. Workman is a two-time Emmy award nominee.
