Summary
YouTuber Markiplier took $3M and his almost 40M subscribers and showed the world that you can make $50M on a $3M movie by engaging the support of your follower base. What does this mean for the future of movie making, studios, and independent film? Social media has become the center point for pretty much ALL advertising and promoting, even live shopping creeping into your TikTok feeds. Why not the new frontier for feature-length movie making as well? Eric Schrader and I discuss this, Mr. Beast's Amazon show, and other stuff in this week's TKFM Quick Hit!
