    There’s a lot of famous people who branch out into several fields: Writing, Acting, Music etc. The impressive thing is how damn good he is at all of it.

      I completely agree, you can also see how those fears influenced his style and music with Because The Internet. And it's really touching and inspiring to see someone that talented be in a situation that most go through as well.

    ANNOUNCEMENT:
    -New doc about Frank Ocean releasing in the next month (hopefully).
    -Afterwords I plan on making a documentary about Kendrick Lamar.
    -When summer rolls around, I plan on releasing a main doc every other week and a mini doc in between each.
    -I am going through some personal things and will be moving across the country in the next month, so I apologize if anything is hindered from that.
    -Lastly, I plan on growing this channel tremendously, having more fan interactions and hopefully reaching 10,000 subscribers by the end of summer.
    -At some point in time, I do want to redo the entire Kanye West doc and Donald Glover doc.
    I hope everyone is excited for the next video and will stick around for new content. Thanks!

      Yo. I just found your channel TODAY.... It's been 2 years since this video and since your post, but you're at 1.5k subs; I don't get it. RUclips is so ridiculous by it's huge promotion and favoritism of large Networks & Network shows yet does everything it can to suppress channels like yours --> True Independent creators that put out FANTASTIC original content. Afterall, it's called RUclips... It's become so commercial and so corporate, it's no wonder so many alternative platforms have come about. Minds.com, BitChute, DTube, LBRY, Vimeo, and so on. Some of those platforms are actually BETTER than RUclips as they forego many of RUclips's restrictions, yet unfortunately none of them have anywhere near the reach nor user base as RUclips....
      For you to only have 1.5k subs yet be uploading such high level Quality Original content is truly absurd to me; and I'm sure the majority of your subscribers would agree with me. It's mind-boggling and equally frustrating.
      Any thoughts on these things?
      Cheers

      @ElijahCinema  4 года назад +2

      @@humanbeing_ No I agree. Personally I've never done RUclips for monetary reasons or anything like that. It's always been a platform for me that allows expression through my short films, as well as connection and hopefully bringing value to others. Rest assured I'm sure if I continued to make docs on musicians and become better at it, I would've found an audience by now. But I also like doing a variety of other things, and ultimately film is more important to me than anything else.
      I fully believe whatever happens happens, and everything works out in the end. Would be awesome to eventually gain a following and audience because I think RUclips fanbases can be one of the most genuine groups of people out there, but everything comes with time. And obviously I don't the type of content that fully captures an audience.
      Thanks for the comment!

      @exetheluckyone 3 года назад +6

      It makes me feel sad that he felt that way too, but I also admire him for sharing it. I believe he's really brave for opening up like that and showing his insecurities and fears. I admire him so much, and if someone like him feels insecure and scared at times, then I feel so much relief about my own insecurities and feelings because he showed me that no matter how big some artists are, we are all human and going through our own internal battles, and that's just part of life, and you can be as great as him despite your fears and insecurities. At least I see it that way, and I'm glad I read that, actually
