Jennifer Murphy’s viral song “I Want to Be Neenja” has hit over 1 billion views across platforms worldwide — and she’s taking it to the big screen.

Murphy, 45, founder of GoGirl Worldwide and former The Apprentice contestant, is set to release her first feature film, I Want to Be Neenja, in May. Based on the song of the same name, Murphy wrote, directed, produced and starred in the movie, which will debut on iTunes and Amazon Prime.

“My ‘I Want To Be Neenja’ song is globally viral, especially on TikTok, and is sung and loved by kids and adults of all ages and all races,” Murphy said in a press release. “This movie is a one-of-a-kind, old-school comedy, with drama, action and a full original music score. And I tell my own story throughout the film, so it has a documentary element as well.”
