Hola, I'm Jay. I'm an artist and content creator, publicly documenting his UGC journey. A little about me is that I'm a recent film school graduate. I went there straight out of high school drama club to pursue experience in film. By my senior year, I had written and directed my first piece called.. Crossfaded: Thesis Film. After releasing it and marketing it on my personal account, we have grown an audience of over 20,000 new followers in the last four months. So now we're trying to fund the feature-length movie. I tried some things, I failed some things. But ultimately the goal is to get this independent film off the ground, so I'm not gonna stop swinging. I've been a creator for the love of the game for the past two years now, and I've learned to make a lot of different styles of content. And I know it'll make it 10x harder than how my peers do it, but I want to see if it's possible to grow in UGC without using any generative AI tools. As a creative and an environmentalist, I accept the challenge. If you're an everyday dreamer like me, follow along to see where this journey can take us. And if you're a brand, thanks for checking us out. Peace.
