One Short reached nearly 18M views organically. Another passed 6M across TikTok and YouTube this summer, and #2027movies broke 4M in its first two weeks. And one video alone reached 50M+ views across platforms.*
All figures read September 23, 2026 from TikTok Studio, YouTube Studio, and platform profiles. Lifetime views are the sum of per-post counts across platforms. Reach metrics, not deduplicated unique viewers. *Single-video total includes all platforms it posted to.
Based in Orange County / Los Angeles and available on short notice. When a screening or activation lands in the market, I can be there same-week and turn coverage around fast. Local, reliable, and already embedded in the screening circuit, with no travel logistics to manage.
The pitch
Why partner with meA film creator with real access and reach that travels.
Most film creators react from the couch. I’m in the theater on opening night, at the advance screening, and at the park event, capturing the moment fans want to be part of. That dual position, discovering screenings and covering them, is what makes me useful to studios, distributors, and parks.
The reach travels far past my own following: multiple videos in the millions and a film-fan audience that keeps coming back. On YouTube, 100% of my watch time comes from non-subscribers, so a partner is buying discovery, not just an existing audience.
I’m also embedded in the ecosystem: I founded SeeItEarly.com, an advance-screening aggregator that tracks 30+ screening sources across 300+ cities, and I write its screening guides, so I know what’s screening, where, and when before most outlets do. Since 2020 I’ve personally attended 70+ advance screenings, premieres, and studio events. Most recently: the Paramount × TikTok Secret Screening, the Forgotten Island premiere at the Lucas Museum, and The Incomer at Vidiots (all September 2026).
