On August 13 (aka the day the TS12 announcement dropped), Cosmopolitan joined forces with Amazon Prime Video for an event that rivaled Taylor Swift’s New Heights appearance: a screening of Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa’s new film, The Map That Leads to You.
Celebs, influencers, and Cosmo premium-tier members gathered at the Crosby Street Hotel in NYC for cocktails, treats, photo ops, and a full showing of the movie, which was followed by a Q&A sesh with KJ Apa, hosted by Cosmo senior special projects director Madeleine Frank Reeves.
Oh, and Madeleine also got the chance to chat with another one of the film’s stars, Madison Thompson, who joined the festivities. “It’s been so much fun,” she said of filming the movie. “I feel like I have a new group of best friends. So it’s always special to get to spend time with each other and get to celebrate something special like this.”
And celebrate we did!! Aside from KJ and Madison, guests at the screening included artists, influencers, creators, and even public figures like Nev Schulman and Tayshia Adams—and of course, our Cosmo premium-tier members (who, btw, get access to merch, events, and other fun perks like this!).
After the screening and Q&A, guests got the chance to mingle, imbibe, and listen to some tunes. And obviously, everyone went home with a goodie bag, which included a copy of Cosmo’s Anniversary Issue featuring KJ and Madelyn.
The Map That Leads to You will be available to stream globally on Amazon Prime Video starting August 20, so mark your calendars!
