For years, the Wilking sisters were inseparable. Passionate about dance since childhood, Miranda and Melanie found success as a duo on social media, raking in millions of TikTok followers and lucrative brand partnerships. In 2019, however, Miranda started spending more time with members of her church-affiliated talent management company that represented her, pulling away from her close-knit family. Eventually, she cut off contact with them completely, leading her loved ones to believe there was more happening behind the scenes.
Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult, a new documentary series directed by Derek Doneen, tells Miranda’s story — and the story of many other dancers who, like her, ended up ensnared within Los Angeles–based 7M Films management company under owner Robert Shinn, who is also a pastor at the Shekinah Church. Both former 7M employees and church members have accused Shinn of controlling behavior.
