๐ฅ Starting online
Kevin worked on slow-mo short films for his thesis in grad school.
He sent it to film festivals but believed it had more potential of blowing up online (and he was right!). His video became a Vimeo Staff Pick and garned a lot of attention.
๐น Creating for himself
Kevin started taking up side projects while having a 9-5 in Toronto.
The projects that he worked were mostly for friends and those managed to work successfully online.
His work not only blew up on Reddit but also celebrity-artists recognised his work.
Kevin taught himself to write eye-catchy captions & figured out strategies to make videos viral.
But it was only in 2015, he took brand building seriously during the end days of vine.
He decided to give it a try & started creating content on weekends and whenever he was free.
๐ฅ Delivering Value
By the end of 2016, Kevin started taking instagram seriously and worked on building an audience.
He started sharing behind-the-scenes videos and wrote long form captions. He delivered value in a way that was engaging and interesting.
